My guess is that they are fast memory modules
Maybe, but SIPPs (as I've usually seen them called, to distinguish them
from SIPs: see below) are just SIMMs that have pins.
They were once
moderately common in 256K and 1M sizes and I've seen a number of
286/386-era PCs that used them. I have a few here (SIPPs, not the PCs),
and a couple of MXV11-Bs. They're no faster than common SIMMs of the
same vintage.
There's also a once-common type of chip - most commonly memory chips -
that are SIP (not SIPP) packages as opposed to DIP packages. I have a
few machines that use those, too.
