They look like ‘place holders’. What does the other side of the chips look like?

the 512k memory was installed on the motherboard (probably). the chops shown are nothing more than blank place holders that are removed when memory is added. I suspect the buyer is correct and a refund is in order. it’s an honest mistake.

I think that he means banking, or just bank, memory, which is meant to be used in pairs, and the system board has to support it. You can tell by the way the little notches on the connector edge line up on the main board.

The first clue should be that there are no little black things on them.

Sounds like a parity issue - how old is the box?

What does the other side of the chips look like?Sorry, I didn't take a pic of the back side of the chips, and I don't really recall.

These are “dummy chips”, unique to RDRAM (which isn’t used much anymore. The original Pentium 4 used them but then went to DDR Ram.
See the Wikipedia article ref: CRIMMs.

A RAMBUS Continuity-RIMM (CRIMM), also known as terminator or dummy.

Are the memory modules on opposite side? If I recall correctly, memory sticks that were 256 only had them on one side, as opposed to 512 which had blocks on both sides. Although I am not familiar with RDRAM, so I could be wrong.
To: webschooner
You screwed the pooch. lol.
Those are not memory chips. They are rdram terminal/continuity chips.
