16x244 are bus buffers for buffered modules (=server and workstation flavor, also in PCI PowerMacs).

The middle notch tells whether it's 3.3V (centered between contacts) or 5V (shifted towards the other notch). 163244 buffers usually mean 3.3V.

If it's 5V I'd be interested to try it in my 9500 Mac.

@da9000
Thanks, but it's got 360 MB already but has grown a bit sluggish after upgrading Jaguar to Tiger - yes, that ancient machine is running a (somewhat) current OS. :-D So 64 and 128 MB modules only. ;-)

@pyrre
Depending on how many you got and the postage required I'd offer up to 8€/module - I wouldn't mean to rip you off, but the 9500 is little more than a toy. :-) If you'd like a swap I can take a look of what's left of PC133 (?) modules.

Sorry, no PC133 modules worth mentioning left (just a couple of 64 MBs)...

I'm in Germany. Germany -> Norway would go for 1.25€, so it might be worth it. I couldn't find actual postage on posten.no - hmm. :-?

PS: too dumb to flip the page...  :-P
Up to 50g should be 14 NOK, ~1,60€.

Sounds like standard SDRAM, either PC66 or PC100. Each chip is 2Mx4Bitx2Banks, so 32 make it 64 MB.
