You need to upgrade the memory on a computer with a 64-bit data bus that runs an automated program. You are able to upgrade the computer using a single stick of DRAM. How is this possible?
  1. The computer has SO DIMM slots.
  2. The computer has SIMM slots.
  3. The computer has DIMM slots.
  4. The computer has RIMM slots.
Explanation
Answer: C - DIMM slots only require a single stick (memory) upgrade on 64-bit computers.

Key Takeaway: The 64-bit data bus into a DIMM slot is the difference. SIMM modules only have a 32-bit bus and would require two sticks for the 64-bit bus on a computer.
