E) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Due ’to the differing data bus widths of the memory modules and some processors, sometimes several modules must be installed in identical pairs or in identical groups of four to fill a memory bank. The general rule of thumb is a 286,386. Sx 68000 or low-end 68020/68030 system (using a 16 bit wide data bus) would require two 30-pinSIMM for a memory bank. On 386 OX. 486. and full-spec 68020 through 68060 systems 32 bit data bus), either four 30-pin SIMMs or one 72-pin SIMM are required for one memory bank.
