For RIMM modules, install the RIMMs beginning with bank 0 then 1 and so on.
You replace C- Rimms with Rimms.
You replace C- Rimms with Rimms
C-RIMM refers to a special slot on a motherboard. It stands for 'Continuity-RIMM.' It is used to fill in RIMMs that motherboards do not use because all of them must be used.
All RIMM slots must be filled either with RIMM modules or CRIMM modules."23. Fill 'er up. Leaving a memory slot empty is not a problem as long as you install DIMMs. If you install RIMMs in your system, however, then you need to make sure every slot is full. No, you don't have to buy more of the pricey Rambus memory modules; simply use a pair of CRIMMs (continuity RIMMs), as they're called, to plug the empty memory slots on the motherboard. You can buy CRIMMs for $10 to $15 each from computer retailers. Failing to fill empty Rambus memory slots with CRIMMs will result in a computer that doesn't boot."Taken from http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/l0909/27l09/27l09.asp&guid=
All Filled - By a minimum of one RIMM module and C-Rimms in all others to make a bank
False, Sytems using Rimms are no longer in production
RIMMs are copyrighted so companies have to pay to produce them. also, RIMM is legacy and getting to be much harder to find. DIMM is open tech and they are now faster than Rambus anyway.

RIMMs operate at speeds of 600 MHZ (PC600) or 800 MHz (PC800). All installed RIMMs must operate at the same speed, and have the same ECC or non-ECC rating. The operating speed is different than the data path size. RIMMs are avilable in 16- or 32-bit data path.
