In a memory ad for dimms you notice 64meg x72 for one dimm and 64meg x64 for another dimm what does the 72 tell you about the first dimm?

<new answer> The old answer is completely incorrect, it does not tell you about the pins. The 72 indicates that the DIMM is ECC
<old answer>72 pin

∙ 13y ago72 shows the data path width of the DIMM listed in the ad. The 64 indicates the DIMM is non-ECC, and the 72 for the other DIMMs indicates ECC memory.

Why is it that my computer works when I have two dimms of memory in it,but doesn't work when I add another?
Some systems use dual memory channels to access ram, if you dont have a pair of memory sticks, it cant work in dual mode, thus not allowing the system to boot. You can buy special DIMM plugins that fool the computer into thinking there are a pair of DIMMs. The other issue could be if your using registered DIMMs in with unregistered DIMMs
Which type of memory is the main memory installed as DIMMs on a motherboard?
DRAM
What are four types of memory devices or modules used in a notebook?
72-pin SO-DIMMs, 144-pin SO-DIMMs, 160-pin SO-RIMMs and credit card memory
How do you distinguish 184 pin from 168 pin memory?
While 184-pin DIMMs and 168-pin DIMMs are approximately the same size, 184-pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins
How much memory does this hold?
You can get memory dimms as big as 4 gigabytes and your computer will have three or four slots for a dimm.
With the memory controller can communicate with two DIMMs at the same time effectively doubling the speed of memory access?
dual channels
What type of memory is faster DIMMs or RIMMs?
RIMMs are traditionally faster and more expensive
What are 2 disadvantages of using one 2 gb dimm instead of 2 1gb dimms?
There are no disadvantages, both are the same. Using one 2gb stick of memory will allow you to add another memory upgrade in the future.
What are three memory modules?
RAM (Random Access Memory), SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules), DImms (Dual Inline Memory Modules), RIMMs (Rambus Inline Memory Modules).
If your computer will hold 1GB of memory and it only has 128 MB of memory how much can you add?
In principle, you could 896 MB, however you'll almost certainly have to remove the 128MB memory and replace it (probably with two 512MB). If this is what I think it is, namely a blue and white Apple Power Macintosh G3, the computer had two 64MB DIMMs in it when it shipped. You have three options: Install two 256MB DIMMs (always PC133--the book says PC100, but PC133 is compatible and it's all you can get now anyway) alongside the 64MB DIMMs to have 640MB RAM. Remove one 64MB DIMM and install three 256MB DIMMs for 896MB. Remove both 64MB DIMMs and install four 256MB DIMMs for 1GB.
Which one is used most DIMM or SIMM?
SIMMs are pretty much obsolete. DIMMs are the currently popular choice for desktop style computer memory. (Laptops use SO-DIMMs.)
How many pins are on a dimm?
Types of DIMMs are DDR3 and DDR2 that have 240 pins, DDR DIMMs with 184 pins and SDRAM DIMMs with 168 pins.
