A flex circuit populated with integrated circuits on one or both sides and in one or more fields along the flex circuitry is wrapped about an edge of a supporting substrate. One side of the flex circuitry has a connective facility implemented in a preferred embodiment with edge connector contacts such as those that would allow the resulting module to be connected to an expansion socket. In a preferred embodiment, integrated circuits (preferably memory CSPs) and any accompanying circuitry or buffers are arranged on one or both sides of a flexible circuit. In some embodiments, one or more thermal sensors or other indicators are thermally coupled to the module substrate. In some embodiments that employ a metallic material substrate with extensions, the ICs of the module have exhibited reduced temperature variations when compared to like capacity DIMMs devised according to the well known planar strategy.
