Given the exact same parts used on the motherboard and on the SIMM, there will 
be a VERY SLIGHT speed penalty in using the SIMMs ... this is primarily due to 
the extra PC trace and the trace discontinuity at the via hole/SIMM pin 
interface.

For the same reason SIMMs are better than an expasion card containing the same
memory.
