>Aren't DIMMS newer *and* faster than SIMMS though?

No.  SDRAM is faster than EDO, and is the most common memory type that
is packaged in DIMMs, but it's fast because it's SDRAM not because
it's in a DIMM package.

These Dell systems give you the worst of both worlds; the expense of
DIMM (more so than SDRAM DIMM, as there's very little EDO DIMMs
produced due to lack of demand) plus the slowness of EDO.  Nuts.
