Number of chips per module

Number of chips per module
Some SIMM's have more chips on the module than others. Looking at just the 32-bit modules,
we find modules with 2, 4, 8 or chips on each side. SIMM's with 2 MB, 8 MB and 32 MB are
double sided. There are chips on both sides of the module. All these chips 16 Mbit ones.
The newest DIMM-modules holds 64 Mbit RAM chips. This way a 32 MB module is made of
only 4 chips since 4 X 64 / 8 = 32.
