There is actually no difference. I2C addresses are 7 bit  and  occupy
the  7 high order bits in a byte. The LSB is used to indiccat read or
write accesses.

So you get: DIMM0: 0xA6 >> 1 = 0x53
                   0xA7 >> 1 = 0x53

       and: DIMM1: 0xA4 >> 1 = 0x52
                   0xA5 >> 1 = 0x52

You see?

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report! - Ken Burchill?
