I was too young to interact with computers at that age, but we have a few in my A+ class...It seems 8 SIMM slots were the standard at that time, so I dont find it unusual to see 16 SIMMS in that server...With 16x 16MB modules, you could achieve an unheard of 256MBs!
Nice... just need to obtain small 4k BTU AC to keep things cool and I'm set..."Now...Witness the power of the fully armored and functional space station!"-- The Emperor (Star Wars: ROTJ)
you need a 64bit system to access that much RAM. let me remind you that if you run windows 32bit on such a system, photoshop (or any other app) can only use 1.6 Gb of RAM

Reminds me of the old days of 286, and 386 boards with their multiple SIMM slots.

you could find this number of memories in multiprocessor systems... and more cheap... ebay? :-)
