Ranking

Sometimes anamnesis modules are advised with two or added absolute sets of DRAM chips affiliated to the aforementioned abode and abstracts buses; anniversary such set is alleged a rank. Since all ranks allotment the aforementioned buses, alone one rank may be accessed at any accustomed time; it is defined by activating the agnate rank's dent baddest (CS) signal. All added ranks are deactivated for the continuance of the operation by accepting their agnate CS signals deactivated. DIMMs are currently getting frequently bogus with up to four ranks per module. Consumer DIMM vendors accept afresh amorphous to analyze amid individual and bifold ranked DIMMs.

DIMMs are generally referred to as "single-sided" or "double-sided" to call whether the DRAM chips are amid on one or both abandon of the module's printed ambit lath (PCB). However, these agreement may could cause confusion, as the concrete blueprint of the chips does not necessarily chronicle to how they are logically organized or accessed.

JEDEC absitively that the agreement "dual-sided," "double-sided," or "dual-banked" were not actual if activated to registered DIMMs.
