Claim:
1. A module, comprising: a module card having first and second opposed surfaces and an aperture extending between the first and second surfaces, each of the first and second surfaces extending in a first direction and a second direction transverse to the first direction, and a plurality of parallel exposed edge contacts adjacent an edge of at least one of the first and second surfaces configured to mate with corresponding contacts of a socket; first and second microelectronic elements, the first microelectronic element having a rear surface facing the first surface of the module card, a front surface opposite therefrom, and a lateral edge extending between the front and rear surfaces of the first microelectronic element and extending in the second direction, the second microelectronic element having a front surface facing the first surface of the module card, each microelectronic element being electrically connected to the module card, the second microelectronic element partially overlying the front surface of the first microelectronic element and attached thereto, the front surface of the second microelectronic element projecting in the first direction beyond the lateral edge, chip contacts of the second microelectronic element being exposed at the front surface of the second microelectronic element and disposed beyond the lateral edge, the second microelectronic element having first and second opposed edges extending between the front surface and a rear surface of the second microelectronic element and extending in the second direction, the front surface of the second microelectronic element having a first outer region adjacent the first edge, a second outer region adjacent the second edge, and a central region disposed between the first and second outer regions, each of the first and second outer regions and the central region having equal width such that the central region extends a middle third of a distance between the first and second edges, the chip contacts of the second microelectronic element being disposed in the central region; and a plurality of leads extending from chip contacts of the second microelectronic element to the edge contacts, the plurality of leads including first wire bonds extending through the aperture and coupled to the chip contacts of the second microelectronic element.
