Can anyone tell me the speed by looking at it or what?

EDIT: Ooops: looks ilke it's pc188-222-620 and may be a 512MB (8*64?)

Confirm?

I'm not a big ram guy, but it seems like pc133 or pc100 would make more sense for the first part.

Maybe 222 is the timing?

AFAIK, there's no way to tell what speed it runs at until you pop it in a motherboard and find out.
Also, it's not a 512 stick. I used to know what 8Mx64 meant but I forgot how to tell. I know you definitely don't multiply the numbers though. Since it's single sided, I'd guess either 64 or 128.

I'm virtually positive it's 64MB--the 8Mx64 is 8 Megabits * 64. Yeah, looks like 168-pin single-sided SDRAM. It's non-ECC since there 8 chips, not 9. No idea about PC100 vs. PC133. I, too, would be interested if anyone could completely verify or add anything.

well it says pc100 on there. a lot of pc133/100 sticks that i see are rated at cas 2, but thats just me and the 50 dimms i saw.
