SIMMs (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.

Name two ways that simm and a dimm are alike name two ways they are different?

Alike- both DRAM, both have pins on both sides of module Different - data path of DIMM is 64 bit, data path of SIMM is 32 bit, and With a SIMM, each pin pair is tied together into a single contact while a DIMM can have memory chips on one side or both sides of the module.


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.


Can you combine both SIMM and DIMM together on a motherboard which has both sloth?

According to every motherboard manual I have ever read, no you cannot. SIMM memory, now archaic and as far as I know unused on any board still functional today, used different voltages than DIMM memory.
