Wtf is this ram?

Name: Anonymous 2007-01-21 0:00

Dear LazyWeb,

I have recently come into possession of two identical, but very curious pieces of RAM. Their pins are as follows:

16 pins | Notch | 62 pins | Notch | 22 pins

There are pins on both sides. The front side has 8 memory chips and the back has 9. The memory chips appear to be Micron 48LC8M8A2-8E. Due to the extra chip on one side, I conjecture it is ECC.

The pin configuration is like nothing I've seen and won't fit into anything. I'm told it's from some sgi stuff, but WTF is this type of RAM?

You actually counted the pins? Lol.

kernel space ram.

recompile your kernel to fit in it.

OP here, I realized pics would be easier. I'll try to grab a picture as soon as I can. It looks like SDRAM, but instead of having:
Small group of pins | Big group of pins | Big group of pins
this looks more like:
Small group of pins | Big group of pins | Small group of pins

It's definitely not DDR(2). Those notches are all near the middle.
It's not SO-DIMM (the type in laptops) which also have 200 pins because it's a full size stick.
