See if you have any empty memory slots

Take out 1 Simm and count the connections

older motherboards used 30pin Simm 70ns parity (3 or 9 chip)
Latest use 72pin Simm 70ns parity
unlikely but also 168pin Dimm

Only a Pentium is likely to use EDO SIMM 60ns

A few motherboards require a jumper setting
