It's RAM. The fast memory of a computer, which allows it to open multiple tasks at the same time and easily switch between them.

This my friend, is a RAM stick. It's the "Memory" of a computer. If you're wondering why it might be so small (256MB or 128MB) it is because it is *very* old RAM. I don't think you'd find any use for it in a computer today. If you're looking to get rid of it, I'd recommend selling it so others who maintain old hardware might be able to make use of it. :)

That's some old SDRam from even before DDR1. Not really worth or used for anything today.

The Kingston is Value Ram. CL 3 is actually loose. I guess it depends on the platform with DDR1

 

The Infineon would be seen in something like AMD Slot A platform, or perhaps Intel's Slot 1.

 

90's platforms. the DDR into early 2000's
