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…
