well, what we need to know is...  FPM or EDO, 3.3V or 5V, Buffered or 
Un-buffered..

can you see the DIMM Slots?

how is it keyed?

(pardon the ASCII art...)
if you look at it it like this,

short contacts - - key - - middle contacts - - key - - long contacts- - - -

 - - - 1 2 3 - - - - - - - - 1 2 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

first key (short stretch of contacts-end of the dimm slot):
2 (centered) is buffered
3 (toward the middle of the DIMM) is unbuffered

second key (the one in the middle of the DIMM slot)
1 (toward the short segment of contacts) is 5V
2 (centered) is 3.3V

I hope this helps...
