I have 6 original SGI RAM modules from a dead O2 that I'm not using
anymore as I've maxed out the RAM slots on my working O2.

They all have a yellow line on them which is supposed to tell you
the size of the modules, but I can't remember what it means, and
Google isn't being helpful either.
I think they all are 32MB, but I'm sure one of the SGI gurus on this
list known more about this then me.
