Have you guys ever seen a DIMM with only 4 chips on it?

I was working on a friend's computer and I pulled this stick of pc133. I have seen cheap sticks that only do 4 chips per side on both sides, but this stick only has 4 chips total. I thought a complete bank needs 8 chips? Would this make the stick slow? It was only a 128MB dimm and I upgraded the box to 512, so it's not really an issue. I'm just curious.
