It also has some (i guess 32mb because it sais 1mb*32p) memory on it


That's actually 4MB of memory.  (1M x 32 bits = 4M of 8 bits.)

Crazy numbering systems RAM uses.  ;-)

Looks like everything else about the card has been identified.

what can I do with it and what is it worth?


You can put it in an A1200.  ;-)  The fast RAM gives a nice little speedup over a stock A1200.  But it's not worth too much in resale, as the cards with fast RAM and 68030 give a lot MORE of a speedup, and are fairly common.  Price also depends on region.

Well western Europe here ;-)


Bummer.  They seem to be worth nearly nothing there.  From what I've seen, maybe 10-20e?  It'd probably bring $30-40 in the US.

I also have a 68030 turboboard with FPU and 8mb but that is some strange memory, it is GVP so this was GVP specific memory or something,


Yep.  The early GVP A1200 cards use special "GVP" simms.  The cards sure work well, though.  I wouldn't mind having my old GVP 1230+ Jaws back.  (Sold it with my 1200 rig back in the day to afford my A4000.)
