The previous answer here said simply:
"8 bits"
....which might be correct for the rate of data transfer (per cell), but that doesn't answer the question!
The way I finally figured it:
A 256MB (mega BYTE) module has 8 cells, (or chips).
256/8 = 32MB per cell
To convert BYTES to BITS, multiply by 8; (8 BITS to a BYTE).
32MB (x8) = 256Mb (mega BITS) per cell.
To convert MEGA bits to BITS*:
*(when referring to data storage, as in this case...)
1Mb = 1048576 bits
Therefore, the cell being 256Mb = (256 x 1048576) =
268,435,456 bits per cell
Formula: (256 x 1024 x 1024)

What is intelligent RAM?
Intelligent RAM or IRAM merges processing and memory into single chip to lower memory latency,increase memory bandwidth,and improve energy efficiency as well as to allow more flexible selection of memory size and organisation.
What part of the brain helps you remember things?
Many different parts of the brain are involved in memory recall (what people commonly call "remembering"). However, if one had to restrict his/her answer to a single brain structure, the hippocampus would probably be the one at the top of most neuroscientists' lists.
What is the process grouping separate pieces of information into a single unit?
Chunking
What is the overhyped feature of telescope sales?

What part of a cell contains information about a single inherited trait?
I think it is chromosomes.
How much information does a single cell of a memory chip on a 256 MB PC2700 DDR module hold?
32 MB
SIMM and DIMM?
Single in-line memory module and dual in-line memory module.
What are three kinds of memory modules?
DIMM- DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULE RIMM - RAMBUS INLINE MEMORY MODULE SIMM SINGLE INLINE MEMORY MODULE
What are the three types of ram boards?
SIMM (Single inline memory module), DIMM (Dual inline memory module), and RIMM (Rambus inline memory module)
What does SIMM stand for?
Single Inline Memory Module, used to refer to memory chips prior to the introduction of Dual Inline Memory Module.
How many bits of information does a single cell of memory chip on a 256 MB PC2700DDR module hold?
32 megabytes.
What is SIMM in computer?
SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module), is a form of RAM (Random Access Memory) It is a ram chip with memory chips on one side. A DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) is like a SIMM, but has memory chips on both sides.
Full form of SIMMS?
Single Inline Memory Module
What is full form of simm?
single inline memory module
What are standard module?
RIMM: Rambhous Inline Memory ModuleSIMM: Single Inline Memory ModuleDIMM: Dual Inline Memory ModuleDDRDIMM: Dual Data Rate Dual Inline Memory Module
What is SIMM stands for?
SIMM stands for Single Inline Memory Module.
Is SIMM type of RAM?
Yes. A SIMM is a single in-line memory module. All this really means is that contacts on both sides of the module are redundant. SIMM was replaced with DIMM (dual in-line memory module).
