I'm planning on adding more memory to my machine and it takes SIMMS >and I was wondering why they are so much more expensive (10X's as much). > Actually, it's the difference between SIMM's and DIP's, not DRAMS. A SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) is a group of DRAM's in a single plug-in package. A DIP (Dual In-line Package) refers to an individual (DRAM or other) chip. ------- jeffl Sequent Computer Systems Beaverton, OR.
