Hi Andrew. Indeed I can't argue on your definition of single vs. singular, but perhaps installation isn't specific enough. Would something like 'mount' or 'insert' be better here? Thanks again!
Non-ProZ.com Aug 7, 2005:
Almost.... Thank you for the links. They were helpful conceptually, but none led me to any official English translation. I think "single installation" might be slighly misleading insofar as one might take it to mean something like one-time installation or something to that effect. What do you think about "singular installation" or "singular placement"? Any other ideas?

What is the difference between SIMM and DIMM? They are different form factors (physical construction) for the memory module. SIMM stands for Single In-Line Module. DIMM stands for Dual In-Line Module. Most computers use either a SIMM or DIMM form factor. SIMM is an older technology. DIMM\'s have been the prevalent technology since around 1997. Physically they look similar. One difference is that SIMM\'s are installed in pairs, whereas DIMM\'s are ***installed singly***. Another is that they are \"keyed\" differently - their notch positions along the connector edge are in different locations. They also install differently. SIMM\'s are first inserted into the memory slot at a slight angle and then rotated into a straight-up position. DIMM\'s are inserted straight-down into the memory slot.

\'singular\' implies that there is something unusual taking place. (Could even qualify for \'This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down\'!)
einzeln - single, individual
singular - einzigartig, außerordentlich, seltsam (according to Leo)
As Harry says, \'single\' here means \'not paired\' (i.e. not double)

\"A DIMM (dual in-line memory module) is a double SIMM (single in-line memory\"

\'single\' is the *official* English translation of \'einzeln\' in this context

Re \'mount\': implies \'sitting on top of\' or at best \'attached to\'
Re \'insert\': could imply that the card goes all the way in leaving nothing showing (but not necessarily!). Possible if you like this word
Re \'installation\': google contexts show this to be a safe option
Peer comment(s):

agree Harry Borsje : or: no paired installation required

The system is upgradable to 4 GB by installing combinations of different DIMMs

...or something along these lines is what I would say..
