there are 2 types
SIMM and DIMM
SIMM : one side chips
DIMM : double side chips
with different interface, such as SDRam , DDRam, SRAM EDDRam etc..
Most RAM is in DIMMs now. SIMMs are really old. Both single and double sided DIMMs are available, and the chips may be on both or only one sides, but the connectors for the DIMM will be on only one side in single sided DIMMs, and on both on double sided DIMMs.
RAM is random access memory and is already explained in this thread
EDO RAM is extended dats out RAM, now obsolete
SD RAM is synchronous DIMM RAM
DDR SD RAM is double data rate synchronous DIMM RAM
DDR2 SD RAM is quadruple (double double) data rate synchronous DIMM RAM
DDR SD RAM is often referred to as DDR RAM.
I don't know what DIMM and SIMM stand for.
