Not sure if I understand the question. But if you're thinking of mixing DIMMS and SIMMS on the same board, it's not the best idea. They have slightly different requirements (different voltages I believe) and your memory will likely become less stable than you'd like. I think most manuals for boards with SIMMS & DIMMS specify somewhere in the fine print that you shouldn't mix the two. Good Luck.
Summary: Your right, DIMM don't mean it has chips on both side. Cuz if that was true then I must be using alot of SIMMs that were DIMMs huh? DIMM and SIMM don't have anything to do with the placements of the c...
Summary: Hi there, My system got three ram, 3 x 128mb. All three are Kingston brand. 2 x pc100 and 1 x pc133. Today i just realise that my out of my three ram, one is DIMM and two are SIMM. Is it alright to do...
Summary: the computer gave you the answer. you can't run dimms and simms together. the voltages are diff and the speed is diff. simms are 70 nanoseconds, dimms are 8-10 nanoseconds. good luck, don't burn out t...
