I have a PC164 motherboard with a 366MHz 21164A CPU.  This board
takes 72-pin SIMMs (sets of four or eight; all SIMMs have to be
the same, so you've either got a 128-bit or a 256-bit memory bus).
The SIMMs must be 36-bits.

I also have a PWS433a (this can run Tru64, OpenVMS, WinNT, or Linux).
The case isn't in great shape, and the heatsink is not the standard
PWS heatsink, but I've never had any problems.  This motherboard takes
up to six DIMMs in pairs.  The DIMMs must be 72-bits, PC100 (actually
PC83, but PC100 is easier to find).
