Abstract:
A memory module card for use with computer system boards having module card receiving sockets thereon, each of said sockets containing a plurality of electrically powered contacts for contacting pads adjacent a received memory module card edge to enable circuit units on the memory module card, comprising:a substantially planar card body comprised of insulative material having a first edge and a second edge;said first edge being adapted to be inserted into a first module card receiving socket on a computer board and being different in length than said second edge;said second edge being adapted to be inserted into a second module card receiving socket on a computer board;a plurality of pads mounted along said first and said second edges of said card; anda plurality of memory arrays mounted on said card body and connected, through a plurality of semiconductor devices, to selected pads mounted along said first and second edges such that, upon insertion of said first edge into a first module card receiving socket, said semiconductor devices are selectively switched to interconnect all of said memory arrays as a first memory architecture and upon insertion of said second edge into a second module card receiving socket, said semiconductor devices are selectively switched to interconnect all of said memory arrays as a second memory architecture.
