SIMMs and DIMM are both type of main memory modules. One in single-sided (SIMM) and one is double-sided (DIMM).
A dimm
DDR2 and DDR3 are both 240 pin DIMM. They have a special notch so as to keep you from putting one where the other belongs.
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.
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.
There are new registers that can run on both batteries and electricity.
A DIMM is based on two different pin counts. SDRAM has 168 pins and is an earlier generation of RAM. DDR RAM has 184 pins. Both are considered DIMMS.
RIMM is more expensive and less popular because of how old it is.
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
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.
SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Module) and MicroDIMM (Micro Dual In-Line Memory Module) are both smaller versions of DIMM memory modules used in laptops and small form factor devices. The main difference is their physical size and pin configuration, with MicroDIMM being smaller and having fewer pins compared to SO-DIMM. Additionally, MicroDIMM is less commonly used and has limited compatibility compared to SO-DIMM.
