I would call that, go on the vintage computer forum and see what those guys would offer you for it, Im sure more than scrap.

Just curious, what was the model of the server?
Metal Recycling Entrepreneur
And why couldn't you call it RAM? It's been said many times here the chips hold a majority of the gold

He started a thread about these just a few days ago, but I can't remember the name of it. He specified a model# in the first threadOriginally Posted by JohnM

Have you inquired at the Smithsonian?

no gold or silver fingers, has to be worth less than rdram (rambus), as for resale you need to check the part numbers on the stick to find out more info about it

I didn't notice the bottom of the ram. it looks like the receiver strip is attached to the ram instead of the board.
Metal Recycling Entrepreneur
Yep reciever strip on the ram. Pins on the board.
Did a little research
Part#A2512-60002 16mb Simmons ram
Doesn't look like I'm gonna get rich.

basically the same as ram thats had the fingers cut off
Metal Recycling Entrepreneur
Not exactly. The reciever strip is loaded with gold. Has 130 pins or so.

yea but its a connector not a finger, $2 pound vs $70 pound, big difference
Metal Recycling Entrepreneur
Good point. Guess ill explore resell or just leave them on the board.
Metal Recycling Entrepreneur
That receiver still has gold contacts in it, probably dam good ones being an HP sever with 16MB sticks(16MB sticks in a name brand server = early 90s at the latest)
That's not exactly like a mobo what's missing the socket, Nor a RAM what's missing it's fingers, you might aughta ask several places, if one wants to downgrade it

Gonna send a pic to my buyer see what he says. I also put a post on vintage-computers forum to see if anyone over there would be interested.
