What are the differences between SIPPs and SIMMs?
Why does one cost more than the other?
How can I tell (by looking at a motherboard) which I need?
Is one of them 'going out of style' (obsolete)?
Apologies if this stuff is in a FAQ file somewhere; I haven't
been able to locate one.

Shouldn't. > > How can I tell (by looking at a motherboard) which I need? You have either a 30 (or so) pin socket (SIPPs) or an edge card connector the same size (SIMMs). > > Is one of them 'going out of style' (obsolete)? Not to speak of. I think the SIMMs have a larger following due to their use in the Apple computers but they're both readily available. Kevin --- FD 1.99c * Origin: My two cents worth...
