DIMMs are so great but so old school :-)

on some systems, in flash, there are 4 and 8 element tables which are
indexed by GPIOs .You use the 2 or 3 bits from 2-3 GPIOs to index the table
and that's how you get your RAM programming. No SPD. You can see how much
room this leaves for problems.

This is just one simple example.
