Memory Review Exercises
10. A 72-pin SIMM with the specification "256K x 32" holds ______ times
the memory of a 30-pin SIMM with the specification of "256K x 9".
- No. A 72-pin SIMM with the same specs holds 4 times
as much memory. The "9" simply means "parity".
- No.
- NO.
- Correct. A 72-Pin SIMM with the same "256K" or "1MB"
holds 4 times the memory as a 30-pin SIMM because a 30-pin works
on an 8-bit scheme, while a 72-pin works on a 32-bit scheme.
