Can you combine both SIMM and DIMM together on a motherboard which has both sloth?

According to every motherboard manual I have ever read, no you cannot. SIMM memory, now archaic and as far as I know unused on any board still functional today, used different voltages than DIMM memory.

What do you mean by DIMM slots in the motherboard?
DIMM stands for Dual In-line Memory Module. Have a look at the Wikipedia entry in the attached link. There is a picture on the rightihand side of the article of the DIMM slots on ta motherboard.
Can a motherboard installs different size DIMM memory?
No. A motherboard will specify what type of memory it supports. The DIMM slot for DDR,DDR2 and DDR3 have different footprints.
What is the function of the Dimm Slots?
DIMM stands for Dual Inline Memory Module. DIMM slots are the slots on a motherboard that hold the memory modules.
Can a motherboard use a combination of single-sided and double-sided DIMMs?
Yes. The Intel CC820 motherboard has two DIMM slots that can use two single-sided DIMMs , two double-sided DIMMs or one single-sided DIMM and one double sided DIMM. In that case, the single-sided DIMM must be in the first slot.
What component must be installed in a ddr2 dimm slot on a motherboard?
Memory Ram
Looking at sdram dimm how can you know the certain voltage need by the module?
The positions of two notches on a SDRAM DIMM identify the type of DIMM and the voltage requirement and also prevent the wrong type from being installed on a motherboard.
Are RIMM and DIMM interchangeable?
You can not use RIMM memory in a DIMM type Motherboard, or vise versa. Although they pretty much do the same job, they work in different ways.
Can a ddr2 and a ddr3 use the same dimm slot on a motherboard?
No, you can't use same DIMM slots for DDR2 and DDR3 due to different position of the key and interface incapability.
What is a dimm slots on a computer?
A dimm slot on a computer motherboard is used to add extended memory or Ram ( random access memory ) all motherboards have a minimum and maximum amount of memory and memory speed which can be used.The more memory in a computer system the greater the performance especially for video rendering and other high end tasks. Computer motherboards have different types of dimm slots which use different types of memory and memory speeds. examples are Sd ram uses 168 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speed 100mhz or 133 mhz Ddr ram uses 184 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speeds of 266 mhz to 400mhz Ddr2 ram uses 240 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speeds of 533 to 1200mhz Ddr 3 ram uses 240 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speeds of 1333mhz upwards Each motherboard has a notch in the dimm slot so the wrong type of memory can not be installed in the wrong motherboard. Example ddr3 memory will not fit in a ddr2 memory motherboard.when upgrading memory persons should find the required memory type and memory speed from the motherboard manufacturer specifaciations data to ensure full compatibility. The faster the memory speed and the greater the memory amount the faster the computer system
If you were planning to buy a new system would you choose a motherboard that uses dimms or rimms why?
dimm is better, dimm is faster, most motherboards is designed to work with this type of memory..
What do SIMM and DIMM banks look like?
The banks themselves don't really look all that different. It's usually better to research the make and model of the motherboard to figure out what it has. The modules themselves are easy. DIMMs have their RAM chips on both sides, whereas SIMMs are only blessed with RAM chips on one side. In reality pretty much every motherboard made within well over a decade only has a DIMM memory bank, so it may not be worth your time or energy trying to find out if the motherboard you have has SIMM or DIMM banks. It's almost guaranteed to have DIMM. DIMM: Dual Inline Memory Module SIMM: Single Inline Memory Module
What type of memory modules are installed in the motherboard of an Atx computer?
DIMM stands for dual inline memory module
