Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) - 37

Dual In-Line Memory Modules
(DIMMs)

The 6400 and 6500 come with 16 MB of DRAM. Two 168-

pin sockets allow for memory expansion.

The 6400 and 6500 use DRAM Dual In-Line Memory

Modules (DIMMs) instead of DRAM Single In-Line Memory

Modules (SIMMs). Whereas SIMMs have 72 pins, DIMMs

have 168 pins. The extra pins provide a 64-bit data path,

compared to a 32-bit data path for SIMMs.
