The easiest way i know of to identify memory modules is to look
the chip part up on the web. The part number usually starts with a
letter or two and is followed by 6-8 numbers then a time code eg.
-7 or /A.

An example is a 30 pin simm with (2) MM514400-07 and (1)
81C1000A-70. A quick search on Yahoo for 514400 lead to
http://www.tdl.com/~netex/cpu/ram.html. The 514400 chips are 1Mx4
and the 81C1000 is 1Mx1. So the module is 1Mx9 which is a 1MByte
with parity. It is FPM memory with 70nS access.

Note that this page is NOT all inclusive. It's better to use a
search engine to find the part number, qualified with the key word
"memory".

good luck,
