DIMM happens to be the size of the slot where you apply the SDRAM, DIMM is typically a 168-pin slot which is probably what you have if you have a most up to date or current motherboard. In older motherboards, you find SIMM slots which have only 72 pins. Basically, you are able to use much more memory today than like before. if you are using windows operating system you can go to the help section and enter the word DIMM in the search. This should get you started on a more clearer idea and as well lead you towards more information to your question.

∙ 14y agoSIMMs (single in-line memory modules) as a radom access memory.
A dual in-line memory module(DIMM), comprises a series of random access memory integrated circuits.
These are used in the Computers as a radom access memory. These began to replace SIMMs as the predominant type of memory module as Intel's Pentium processors began to control the market. The main difference between SIMMs and DIMMs is that SIMMs have a 32-bit data path, while DIMMs have a 64-bit data path. Single in-line memory modules, SIMMs, have a pin count of 72 which have contacts on one side of the memory module only. DIMMs, dual in-line memory modules, have since replaced SIMMs and offer a double sided module. DIMM is the current standard used throughout the computer industry for DDR and SDRAM.

∙ 13y agoOther than being inline memory modules, there's not a whole lot of similarities. DIMMs are capable of much more RAM, have 64-bit capabilities, more pins (each side being a separate, individual pin) and you cannot place a DIMM into a SIMM slot nor a SIMM into a DIMM slot. They are designed to be dummy proof.

∙ 10y agoThe difference between DDR and DIMM is that DDR is a type of RAM chip that is used on a DIMM module. RAM is Random Access Memory, which is used by a computer to store short term data (information) DIMM stands for Dual Inline Memory Module and is the physical part of the computer where the RAM chip is stored

On a motherboard, there are several DIMM "slots" in which various RAM types are inserted.

Howmany pins are on a sdram dimm?
168
What is the difference between SDRAM and DIMM because I want to buy a new computer and it says it takes DDR2 SDRAM but when i search he net i find DIMMs. Will the DIMM work?
You're computer will require a "DDR2 SDRAM DIMM". DDR2 SDRAM is the type of memory you are after, it is also a DIMM. Most modern memory are all DIMM's (Dual inline memory module), much older ram were SIMMS (single ingline memory module). DIMM refers more to the physical make up of the module (DIMMS have contacts on both sides of the module). So any DDR2 SDRAM that you buy IS a dimm. You may want to look at the wikipedia page about DDR2 SDRAM at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM
How many pins are on a sdram dimm on a ddr dimm on a simm on a rimm?
168 pins are used on SDRAM DIMM. 184 pins are used on DDR DIMM. There are either 30 pins or 72 pins used on SIMM. 184 pins are used on RIMM.
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.
First DIMM to run synchronized with the system clock?
SDRAM runs synchronized with the system clock
How many pins are on a DDR DIMM?
DIMM. Two types of DIMMs: a 168-pin SDRAM module (top) and a 184-pin DDR SDRAM module (bottom). Note that the SDRAM module has two notches (rectangular cuts or incisions) on the bottom edge, while the DDR1 SDRAM module has only one.
What type of RAM is found in the most expensive systems?
dimm
Which packaging is used for ddr sdram memory?
184-pin DIMM
What ram has two notches on the module?
168-pin SDRAM DIMM
How many notches are on a sdram dimm?
1 notch
Is Mac memory the same as a PC?
Yes. For example the iMac uses PC2-5300 DDR2 SO-DIMM SDRAM memory.
