SIMM - SIMMS - Single Inline Memory Module

SIMM refers to a type of memory module commonly used in older PCs, they commonly come in 30-pin and 72-pin packages.

SIMMS are 32-bit memory modules which has made them less popular since the advent of 64-bit processors.

As SIMMS have a 32-bit data path they have to be doubled up when installed in a system with a 64-bit processor unlike DIMMS.
