stupid question

What does DIMM stand for...I know what it is(where the RAM goes in) but I don't know what the actually letters stand for...thanx


there is also RIMM and SIMM....



Spec

Dimm=dual inline memory module.
Simm=single inline memory module.
Rimm=Rambus inline memory module.

ahhhh.....always wanted to know that...thanx

also

DDR-RAM = double data rate random access memory


SDRAM = single data random access memory??
RDRAM = Have NO CLUE


That is my last question
Thanx



Spec

Yes and rdram=Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory.

thank you placid on the very quick responses!!



Spec

"SDRAM = single data random access memory??"

that is actually synchronus, not single...same sort of deal though...

also there is SO-DIMM which is short outlet...used in notebooks I believe...

and there are literally hundered of different types of ram...all of which are either specialised like VRAM, GRAM...etc...

or never made it past the drawingboard...FRAM for example...

never ever though try and learn all types - every time I try to read up on different types of RAM, I end up seeing about three or four other types I have never heard of before, so its just a pain more than anything...

SD RAM: Syncroniced Dynamic Random Access Memory

thanks for the explenations people, it was good to know
