85629 2002-10-03 02:14:00 What are the differences between 'double-sided' - chips on both sides and 'single-sided' SDRAM modules?

I was told that 'single-sided' modules (256 MB) may not work in older motherboards which uses only older 'double-sided' modules.

There is a shop selling this 'single-sided' SDRAM for $58.00 + GST; sounds cheap. Are they reliable? Comments, please

Is it true?


Cheers
