Abstract
A single in-line memory module (SIMM) for memory expansion in a computer system. The SIMM includes a plurality of memory chips surface-mounted on a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board includes a dual read-out connector edge adapted for insertion within a socket of the computer system. One or more driver chips may further be mounted on the printed circuit board and connected to distribute control signals to the memory chips. A full-width data path may further be connected between the dual read-out connector edge and the plurality of memory chips.
