"Question for PC BOFFS"

Basically i was thinking today (thats how bored i get at work), SIMMS (single inline memory modules) are 16 bit this is why you need to use them in pairs, dimms (dual inline memory modules) are 32 bit (like the cpu bus) so these are only needed singular, also i believe that rambus memory is also 16 bit (unless it is the PC4600 which is 32 bit) this is why they have to be paired, so what sort of ram do you need for a 64 bit cpu? do you need 2 32bit modules?.

c.b.

Not jealous at all, just a little bored of him, especially his ability to answer questions he knows naff all about and get them totally wrong.

I'm gonna stick up for Turbonutter here as he is the only user I have encountered who was able to answer all my questions.

Me thinks you may be jealous......

He may think he does..

Rob, do you just know everything? No really? Do you?

I have a question that you couldn't answer..

2 32bit modules maybe, but I'd be surprised if a 64bit CPU can't use just 1 32bit module.

Don't look at me!

How do you expect me to know?!?

:c)
