[OnlyCurious]

Can anyone tell me what a DIMM and a PIN is...?? for a RAM Memory. the RAM i'm lookin at says it has 256mb PC133 168-pin SDRAM DIMM... Thanks for everyone's help

DIMM stands for Dual In-line Memory Module which is the small circuit board that holds chips. DIMM uses a 64-bit path where as SIMM only used 32-bit

how can i check whether my pc100's that i have right now are DIMMS?

i assume that SIMM was used for older ram like EDO and that all SD RAM would use DIMM so you shouldnt have any problem. Am I right people?
