16 MB FPM Parity SIMM kit

This kit provides 16 MB of total memory across four 4 MB modules using 30-pin SIMM form factor with parity checking. It is designed for legacy systems such as 386 and 486 PCs plus compatible XT and Mac platforms. The 80 ns access speed matches period-correct timing requirements. Installers upgrading vintage workstations or restoring original configurations will find the kit a direct fit.

Sustained operation on vintage bus speeds

Each module runs at 80 ns fast-page-mode timing, delivering consistent throughput during extended DOS or early Windows sessions. The parity bit allows the motherboard to detect single-bit errors without halting the system. Because the chips are rated for the original bus cadence, thermal characteristics remain stable during long compilation runs or multi-hour gaming periods typical of the era. No additional cooling or voltage adjustment is required beyond stock board specifications.

Nine-chip layout and 30-pin connectors

Every module uses a nine-chip arrangement that implements the parity bit across the 30-pin edge connector. The pinout aligns with standard SIMM sockets found on 386, 486, AT and XT boards as well as contemporary Mac logic boards. The through-hole pins seat firmly in vertical or angled sockets, resisting vibration in desktop and tower chassis alike. Builders should verify that the target motherboard accepts 30-pin parity SIMMs before purchase, as some later boards require 72-pin or non-parity modules.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 4MB 30-Pin Parity SIMM set draw when the system runs all day?

Each 4MB FPM parity module operates at 80ns bus speed and draws only the standard 5V supply current for 30-pin SIMMs, so total power stays within the motherboard's normal memory budget.

What must my motherboard already provide for these four 30-pin modules to work?

The board needs four free 30-pin SIMM sockets, a 5V memory bus and BIOS support for parity FPM DRAM so the 16MB total is recognised at boot.

Will the 16MB kit run reliably in my 386 or 486 alongside the original memory sticks?

Yes — the 80ns 9-chip parity SIMMs match the timing and voltage of factory 386 and 486 memory, letting you mix them with existing modules when the BIOS is set to the slowest installed speed.
