What is different between DIMM and SIMM?

Answer

SIMMs (single in-line memory modules) as a radom access memory.


A dual in-line memory module(DIMM), comprises a series of random access memory integrated circuits.
These are used in the Computers as a radom access memory. These began to replace SIMMs as the predominant type of memory module as Intel's Pentium processors began to control the market.

The main difference between SIMMs and DIMMs is that SIMMs have a 32-bit data path, while DIMMs have a 64-bit data path.

Single in-line memory modules, SIMMs, have a pin count of 72 which have contacts on one side of the memory module only. DIMMs, dual in-line memory modules, have since replaced SIMMs and offer a double sided module. DIMM is the current standard used throughout the computer industry for DDR and SDRAM.
