   These are descibed in my list as 16Mbit x 4bit units, which means
that 8 of them are 16Mbit x 32bit, which equates to 64Mbyte of RAM.

   This sticker appears to be correct!

   This is not uncommon with some motherboards.  Either change the
SIMMs or change the motherboards so that they match!

    Try them in a late super socket 7 motherboard and you *may* get
64Mbytes.

     OTOH the decode of the part number reads oddly, so they may only
fit a very limited set of units.
