A DIMM is a dual inline memory module and gets its name due to the fact that the pins on either side of the module operate independently. SIMMs are single inline memory modules whose pins operate together. DIMMs are larger than SIMMs and are what are commonly used in computers today.

Is SIMM type of RAM?

Yes. A SIMM is a single in-line memory module. All this really means is that contacts on both sides of the module are redundant. SIMM was replaced with DIMM (dual in-line memory module).

What is SIMM in computer?

SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module), is a form of RAM (Random Access Memory) It is a ram chip with memory chips on one side. A DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) is like a SIMM, but has memory chips on both sides.

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.

What is single sided dimm?

Single sided DIMM is an oxymoron like calling a bald person curly. DIMM stands for dual inline memory module. A single inline memory module is obviously a SIMM, but since the acronym was never used back then, there was no demand to ask for them when DIMMs were invented.


What is the use of DIMM?

The function of a DIMM slot is to transfer data at a rate of 64 bits. This has a faster rate compared to SIMM memory modules that operates at speeds of 32 bits.
