What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit memory?

Old Guides No Comments

32 bit memory is commonly known as ECC memory. It has an additional 8 bits for Error Correction Check 64 bit memory is non-ECC. 72 bit or 64 bit configuration are typically found in 168 pin DIMMs.

What is a SIMM?

Old Guides No Comments

A Single In-line Memory Module or SIMM is a small printed circuit board containing memory chips (DRAMs). Most SIMMs have 30 or 72 pins (which are actually printed circuit contacts and not pins). 30-pin SIMMs come in 8-bit (non-parity) or 9-bit (parity). 72-pin SIMMs are generally available in 32-bit (non-parity) or 36-bit (parity) configurations.

What is a DIMM?
A Dual In-line Memory Module or DIMM combines two 72-pin SIMMS into a 168-pin module with 64-bit (non-parity) or 72-bit (parity) data paths.
