Hello fellow netters,
  
     I check the FAQ first and didn't see this question so I figured I'd ask
it here.  I would like to know the difference between SIMM chips and DRAM 
chips.  I'm planning on adding more memory to my machine and it takes SIMMS
and I was wondering why they are so much more expensive (10X's as much).

Any response is welcome. Fell free to post or e-mail.
Thanx much in advance,
