    I'm still learning, and I don't quite understand...

    I have some at home that look just like this - http://ruggedcountryatv.ca/recycling/rams.jpg

    I'm aware of the 485 processors being very expensive, but those are, also?

    Congrats, too!

    That's just old memory Koldes, the earlier EDO type. Apparently none of the buyers distinguish between the older and newer types of memory

    Thanks for the confirmation. That's what I thought, but since it was with the 486 stuff, I wasn't quite sure. Much appreciated.

    You should be able to get more then scrap value for that VLB video card on ebay (if you like that sort of thing).
