| - | A Single In-line Memory Module(SIMM) is a module containing one or several [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:r:computermemory]] chips on a small circuit board with pins that connect to the computer motherboard. Since the more RAM your computer has, the less frequently it will need to access your secondary storage (for example, hard disk or CD-ROM), PC owners sometimes expand RAM by installing additional SIMMs. SIMMs typically come with a 32 data bit (36 bits counting parity bits) path to the computer that requires a 72-pin connector. SIMMs usually come in memory chip multiples of four megabytes. | + | A Single In-line Memory Module(SIMM) is [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:v:vmem]] and is a module containing one or several [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:r:computermemory]] chips on a small circuit board with pins that connect to the computer motherboard.

| The memory chips on a SIMM are typically [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:dram]] chips. An improved form of RAM called [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:sram]] can also be used. Since SDRAM provides a 64 data bit path, it requires at least two SIMMs or a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:dimm]]. | The memory chips on a SIMM are typically [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:dram]] chips.
