Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs)
The Power Macintosh 7200 Series and WS 7250 computers use DRAM Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) instead of DRAM SIMMs. Whereas SIMMs have 72 pins, DIMMs have 168 pins. The extra pins provide a 64-bit data path, compared to a 32-bit data path for SIMMs. In addition, DIMMs do not have to be installed in pairs like the SIMMs on earlier Macintosh models.
Important: The VRAM and DRAM Single In-Line Memory Modules (SIMMs) used in previous Macintosh models are not compatible with the Power Macintosh 7200 Series and WS 7250 computers.
