 Sounds pretty good. Plain old fashioned 32 pin ram? I have some
 recycled ECC ram.

 Also, can't recall the socket type, but there were two types.
 One just fit the 486 with the same number of pins as the chip,
 the other had an extra row of pins that surrounded the chip. Do
 you know what you have?
