- Hi, all.
-
- I have a Dell 325P with 2M RAM as shipped. I want to add 2M now.
-
- The "generic" SIMMs I got from a mail-order house don't seem to fit
- the motherboard slots for SIMMs, nor do they look like the factory-
- installed SIMMs.
-

- These sizes are inflated by about 20% if you are reading this
- on your standard PC screen.
-
- I thought SIMMs are SIMMs. What is the difference between the
- two types? What are they called so I can be sure to order the
- right ones?
-
- You can respond by email or news. Thanks to all in advance.
