Hi,
I think that this ram-module came from some kind of scsi raid controller, I have seen many custom-modules on high-end scsi controller. On my Perc3 raid card from Dell the cache-ram module have the same form-factor of a PC100 Dimm Sdram but on one side there are the memory chips, on the other side the is whole power-regulator + backup batteries, if you want I can post some photos later.

well i tryed it on one of my MB's and it worked just fine it's a 128mb pc-133 Ram

i think it's a memory module from a server, it's probably registered, buffered and with error correction.
check what programs like everest or sandra say about it

Well, in addition to the ASIC this module has 4Kbyte serial EEPROM on board. For what?

[Blackfury]

well it has one more EEPROM one it one the other end of the back
