FPM (fast page memory) | can be used with 30 pin or 72 pin SIMMs or some really old 168- pin DIMMs |
General Protection Fault (GPF) | A Windows error that occurs when a program attempts to access a memory address that is not available or is no longer assigned to it. |
memory bank | The memory a processor addresses at one time and is 64 bits wide. |
parity | An error-checking scheme in which a ninth, or "parity," bit is added. The value of the parity bit is set to either 0 or 1 to provide an even number of ones for even parity and an odd number of ones for odd parity. |
parity error | An error that occurs when the number of 1s in the byte is not in agreement with the expected number. |

single ranked | Single-sided DIMMs providing only one 64-bit bank.single ranked |
single-sided | A DIMM with memory chips installed on one side of the module.single-sided |
SO-DIMM (small outline DIMM) | a smaller version of a DIMM used on laptops.SO-DIMM (small outline DIMM) |
synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) | The first DIMM to run synchronized with the system clock. It has two notches, and uses 168 pins.synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) |
triple channels | Accessing three DIMMs at the same time triple channels |
