Yes, it was a bunch of SIMMs (I think - they had metal edge clips to destroy your fingers compared to modern DIMM insertion) that they chucked out at school (they gave them to me instead of binning them). It would have been more normal for 16MB in the days when a 486 was mainstream but this was many many years after 486 were considered ancient - 1998 to 2000 I think? I was poor and my paper-round only stretched to buying Micromart and looking at computers I couldn't afford.
