[ MEMORY // IDENTIFIED VINTAGE MODULE ]
Samsung KMM5324000CK
Samsung’s 4M × 32 FPM module, providing 16 MB without parity; density support is a major host constraint. This is a model-specific record, not a generic SIMM-family listing.
Exact module specifications
| Manufacturer / exact part number | Samsung KMM5324000CK |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 16 MB (4M × 32 bits) |
| Generation / contact count | 72-pin SIMM, 72-pin single-inline-contact vintage generation |
| Memory mode and parity | Fast Page Mode (FPM) DRAM; 32-bit non-parity organization; no ECC |
| Speed / access time | 60 ns row-access (tRAC) timing variant documented for this module family |
| Operating voltage | 5 V nominal (module-family datasheet specifies a single +5 V supply; ±10% where stated). |
| Chip organization | Eight 4M × 4 DRAM devices on a 72-pin glass-epoxy module |
Host compatibility & handling
For 486 or early Pentium 72-pin 5 V SIMM sockets whose chipset and BIOS support 16 MB modules and 4M-device density. Check maximum bank capacity; many early boards cannot decode the full capacity. No parity bit is provided.
- 72-pin SIMMs have 32-bit data or 36-bit data-plus-parity organization; 30-pin SIMMs expose 8 or 9 bits. 30-pin and 72-pin modules are not interchangeable.
- Confirm the system’s documented voltage, supported memory density, parity policy, bank-width/population order, and access timing before installation; matching notches do not guarantee support.
- Handle by board edges, protect from ESD, and document the complete module/chip markings and the host used for testing.
Model-specific identification notes
Samsung’s 4M × 32 FPM module, providing 16 MB without parity; density support is a major host constraint. The module organization and exact SKU should be checked against the cited data-sheet/archive records and the physical label; speed suffixes are not interchangeable.
