- Summary: What's the difference?
-
- I do not understand why memory chips are differentiated by price
- and name like DRAM, SIPP, SIMM, etc, and what exactly things like
- "256x4" and those other numbers mean. Could someone please inform
- me on what makes these different, and how to read "256x4"?
-
- Thanks!
