well i've been wanting to upgrade my one old 486's ram from its 8mb (8x1 mb sticks) to something more.

anyways i've had no luck finding the 30 pin ram i need at a reasonable price so awhile ago i bough a big baggy full of random 30 pin ram for a good price. problem is i have no idea what size any stick it.

i've kinda been randomly putting the ram in to see what comes up, i almost always get a *beep* and nothing which i assume is ram error, sometimes it sounds like its botting up fine but i get no display and one i managed to get....1mb which means i found a good combo but all those sticks must of been 256k sticks.

anyways is there a device that can tell you how much ram is on a stick? or some visual method. it doesn't help these old MB's are picky about ram type/size combinations and what slots there in.
