What else can I help you with?
What module do you replace if there is rimms and a c-rimm installed?
You replace C- Rimms with Rimms.
You need to upgrade memory on a motherboard that uses rimms you notice one rimm and one c-rimm module are already installed on the board which module should you replace?
You replace C- Rimms with Rimms
What happens when you install 3 good RIMM's into a system?
When you install three good RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Module) modules into a compatible system, the system will recognize the memory and utilize it to enhance performance. However, for optimal functionality, the motherboard must support RIMM configurations, and they should ideally be installed in pairs or in accordance with the motherboard's specifications. If the system supports triple-channel memory, it may take full advantage of the additional bandwidth offered by three RIMMs. Otherwise, the system will operate with the available memory while potentially underutilizing the available RIMM modules.
What is c-rimm?
C-RIMM refers to a special slot on a motherboard. It stands for 'Continuity-RIMM.' It is used to fill in RIMMs that motherboards do not use because all of them must be used.
Why would you have problems with a system in which you installed three known good RIMMs?
All RIMM slots must be filled either with RIMM modules or CRIMM modules."23. Fill 'er up. Leaving a memory slot empty is not a problem as long as you install DIMMs. If you install RIMMs in your system, however, then you need to make sure every slot is full. No, you don't have to buy more of the pricey Rambus memory modules; simply use a pair of CRIMMs (continuity RIMMs), as they're called, to plug the empty memory slots on the motherboard. You can buy CRIMMs for $10 to $15 each from computer retailers. Failing to fill empty Rambus memory slots with CRIMMs will result in a computer that doesn't boot."Taken from http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/l0909/27l09/27l09.asp&guid=
With RIMM each slot on the motherboard must be?
All Filled - By a minimum of one RIMM module and C-Rimms in all others to make a bank
Are system still being made with RIMM?
False, Sytems using Rimms are no longer in production
Is RIMM or DIMM more expensive given that both hold the same amount of memory?
RIMMs are copyrighted so companies have to pay to produce them. also, RIMM is legacy and getting to be much harder to find. DIMM is open tech and they are now faster than Rambus anyway.
What are the two current speeds of RIMMs?
RIMMs operate at speeds of 600 MHZ (PC600) or 800 MHz (PC800). All installed RIMMs must operate at the same speed, and have the same ECC or non-ECC rating. The operating speed is different than the data path size. RIMMs are avilable in 16- or 32-bit data path.
What must you install in an empty RIMM slot?
c-rimm module
Name three types of memory modules?
RIMM, SIMM, and DIMM.
Name two characteristics of a system using rambus licensed memory?
RAMBUS memory is on a stick of RAM called a RIMM. It is the fastest RAM available but you have to have the hardware to use it. It comes in 184 pin for desktops and 160 pin for laptops. RIMMs are keyed differently than DIMMS so you can't install it in any computer. You are required to install RIMMs in pairs to use the full technology, it has a dual-channel technology. Each RIMM is 64 bits wide, but the RAMBUS alternated between two sticks to increase the speed of data retreival. RDRAM motherboards require that all RIMM slots be populated. Unused pairs of slots need a passive device called a continuity RIMM (CRIMM) installed in each slot to enable the RDRAM system to terminate properly. In other words, you have to buy a blank CRIMM to fill in the slots or it will not work properly on the motherboard.
