Resolved identifying memory modules

Hello:
How do i identify a memory module without a white label on it???
it has 168 pins,2 side notches, looks the same as some "spare" SD 128MB PC133 i have.
there are 8 chips on it with Mitsubishi symbol and number M5M4V64S30ATP and TAIWAN 8379GOC-10
i took it out of a Softhaus Personal Computer to see, but there is not a label on it.
the system prop. says 64 MB in computer, and Crucial.com scan of Motherboard shows EDO SDRAM. Crucial.com does not recognize Softhaus name (former local shop) it also shows "low Density PC100 "...EDO SD RAM
motherboard is supposedly a Legend QDI P61440LX Legen X 8 {can not find number on motherboard) this scan shows Pentium 11 processor
i would like to upgrade to 2 sticks of 128 but not sure it could handle it. it has Win98SE program

Google - M5M4V64S30ATP has a few pages of data that should tell all.

 

yes Chipmink international says 64 mb, but scan said EDO Chipmunk does not say EDO, or whatever.
i have pictures but don't know how to post here from a folder (or docs) in my computer

 

Dear Ski 52 or anyone else
i searched by Dogpile and Google, it confirmed 64MB, dig.com said PC66, which is not easy to find, but the main question is " "Will my PC 133, 128MB work in it ???

It should work. It's kinda like putting Hi-Test gas in your lawn mower, but it should be OK.
I have 1 stick of PC133 128M, a few 64M and a few 32M you are welcome to, if you need them - glad to send them to a good home. Not too big a problem, I'm only 1 county north of you....

Dear Ski
i would be interested in a Pair of 64s, but they should be "low Density" PC 100
if you want to send, i am Mike BVradley 3616 2nd Place, Vero Beach, Fl 32968.
I would re-imburse for postage>>>
i have 2 PC133/128mb but don't know density.

Dear ski52 and others
is there a tester to see what memory modules are, when there is no label on them ???

you may find out more by using Lavalys Everest it all depends on what info is stored in the SPD on the Dimm but that requires a compatible motherboard/PC to put them into otherwise google is your friend

 

Dear Athlonite
What is an SPD?? and Lavalys Everest (been to google)Prefer Cuil or Dopgpile
how do you know if Motherboard?PC are compatible??
I meant a tester for Modules ( like a VAO for volts Ohms Amps, or a Pulse Oxymeter for pulse and oxygen level) battey tester for batteries,etc.

 

an SPD or serial presence device is an small chip found on all dimms it stores information such as module speed PC 66/100/133 and so on it can also contain setting for CAS you'll often see this mentioned as something like this x-x-x-x where x= number of clock cycles...

Everest is a program for viewing information about your PC's components and can be found here http://www.lavalys.com/products/everest-pc-diagnostics

Unfortunately such a device outside of the manufacturing industry would be very rare to find if at all

 

o.k i am trying to find the speed PC 66,100 etc
What is CAS ???

SiSoftware Sandra is very good at giving information about the motherboard and RAM modules (like all those hardware information programs, they require that a good set of motherboard/chipset drivers are installed).

Thanks Pete,
you do not know how verrry, verrry, slooowwww that thing is, plus it is 4 miles away and i don't know if it has a CD slot or USB slot>>>
owner wouldn't know, plus she is in hospital..
I have a USB stick but my wife (who knows some things about using computers i don't) couldn't make usb stick work for "Magnifying Mouse "
USB stick was a fix for Toshiba TV, she erased it but, we still could not make it work>>>>>
