Memory Chips & M/Board Chip sets:
What kind do you have--huh: SIMMs, DIMMs, SDRAM, FMP, EDO, SDRAM II, DDR,
RDRAM, SLDRAM???
SIMM= Single line memory modules (most popular and the old version) of dimm. These memory
cards come in 30 & 72 pin config's and contain FPM or EDO ram with a outside data flow
limit of 32 bits.
DIMM= Newer version of simm and it's a dual in-line memory module. These come in 72, 144,
and 168 pin config's and come with Pentium's hopefully and there limit is 64 bits.
DRAM= Has transistors and capacitors to retain data and are slower and not very
dependable---plainly said (Cheaper).
FPM= Fast page mode started about 4 years ago (see simm).
EDO= Extended data out started (I think) in 1995 and is measured in nanoseconds
(see simm).
SDRAM= Synchronnous ram started in 1997 and measures in clock speeds.
SDRAM II, DDR, RDRAM & SLDRAM= These are new technologies and our future answers
we hope. As quoted somewhere (and I don't remember) these chips are ready just waiting for
the
MotherBoard MFG's to catch up.

BUY ONLY WHAT YOU NEED ------ BECAUSE IT WILL GET CHEAPER.
