Sorry David

Those slices are 1x 64MB of SDRAM and 1x 32 MB slice of SDRAM according to
on-line manufacturers specs. One slice is HM5216805TT10H and the other is
HYB39S128800CT. 
Thanks 

God bless

Jack

Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] P200MMX RAM capacity


  As I recall, most motherboards from that era had four SIMM slots, so
putting 64MB in each slot should work okay, and board capacity shouldn't be
an issue.

  There are two other issues to consider, however:

1.  SIMMs were available with and without parity.  Macs never used parity,
but many PCs allowed a choice in the BIOS or via a motherboard jumper. While
SIMMs with parity *should* work okay with this turned off, I recommend that
all four SIMMs be of the same type if possible.

2.  Starting around 1998 with the Pentium II, most new systems went to DIMMs
instead.  Unless you have a good used/surplus computer outlet nearby (I have
several, but I'm in the heart of Silicon Valley and cannot assume the rest
of the world is similar...), it may be difficult to find SIMMs at all any
more, let alone four that are a close match.
