The DIMM was indeed a 64Mb.  For some undocumented reason, it was
recognized as 64Mb in the third DIMM slot, but only 16Mb in the first and
second DIMM slots.

Thanks to those who replied.

Subject: How to ID DIMMs?

This isn't FreeBSD related, but I don't know where else to direct this
question.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a DIMM here.  According to the vendor, it's a 8x64 (64Mb) SDRAM.
My motherboard docs don't list 64Mb RAM as an option, but I downloaded the
latest Flash BIOS and manual, and the new manual does list 64Mb DIMMS as
an option.  I flashed in the BIOS with no problem, but the DIMM is found
to be a 16Mb DIMM, not the 64Mb I paid for.

The DIMM has 8 chips on it, all on same side, and each is marked by
MK5264805T-10 98475.  Made in Taiwan.  My motherboard is an Acubit AX5,
Intel 430TX, Award BIOS.

Is it possible that the vendor sent me a 16Mb DIMM by mistake? 

Thanks again.
