How many bits does a 168-pin DIMM with parity use to store eight bytes of data?
  1. 80
  2. 76
  3. 72
  4. 68
Explanation
Answer: C - Parity memory uses 8 bits to store a byte of data plus one bit for parity; 9 bits per byte. To store 8 bytes of data, parity memory uses 72 bits.

Key Takeaway: A DIMM (dual in-line memory module) is a DRAM (dynamic random access memory) module comprised of integrated circuits and designed for use in personal computers, workstations, and servers. Multiple DIMMs may be mounted on a printed circuit board.
