Designed for use with Intel Skylake (6th generation Core i-series CPU); memory controller on motherboard/ processor must support both DDR3 and DDR4 memory

MicroDIMMs started out with 144 pins and now have 214 pins on the same form factor module. DIMM VS. SODIMM VS. MicroDIMM: A Comparison DIMM, SODIMM, MicroDIMM DDR2 Size Comparison If you like tech, there’s a decent chance that you’ve seen inside a computer at some point. You may identify some or all of the parts by sight. The inside of a laptop may well be another thing entirely. Unlike desktop computers, you don’t really get laptops with sizeable tempered glass or polycarbonate panels to let you see inside. a b c d e f g https://www.google.com/books/edition/Upgrading_and_Repairing_Laptops/xCXVGneKwScC?hl=en&gbpv=0

Choice/Opt-out

Depending on the specific module and motherboard chipset combination, PC133 modules can sometimes be used on systems that are designed for PC100 modules. DDR SDRAM RAM is used for programs and data as well as by the operating system for disk caching (using RAM to hold recently accessed information). Thus, installing more RAM improves transfers between the CPU and both RAM and hard drives. If your computer runs short of RAM, the operating system can also use the hard drive as virtual memory, a slow substitute for RAM. Although the hard drive can substitute for RAM in a pinch, don’t confuse RAM with mass storage devices such as hard disks or SSDs. Although the contents of RAM and mass storage can be changed freely, RAM loses its contents as soon as you shut down the computer, while magnetic storage can hold data for years. Although RAM’s contents are temporary, RAM is much faster than magnetic or SSD storage; RAM speed is measured in nanoseconds (billionths of a second), while magnetic and SSD storage is measured in milliseconds (thousandths of a second). Capacity shouldn’t be an issue with modern hardware. It’s possible to get 32GB SODIMMs with DDR4 or DDR5 memory, which are not even costly. That allows for up to 64GB of RAM in a laptop with the standard two SODIMM slots, which should be more than enough for almost any task. Thermal Issues There’s DDR4, DDR5, and their predecessors. These are the types of memory modules that define how the particular type of module will perform in terms of throughput, power consumption, latency, etc.

For critical applications, network servers have long used a special type of memory called error-correcting code (ECC). This memory enables the system to correct single-bit errors and notify you of larger errors.Be aware fully buffered modules, which are designated by F or FB do not have the same notch position as other classes. Fully buffered modules cannot be used with motherboards that are made for registered modules, and the different notch position physically prevents their insertion. RAM Compatibility—Learn how to make sure additional memory works with existing memory in this section. Double data rate 2 SDRAM (DDR2 SDRAM) is the successor to DDR SDRAM. DDR2 SDRAM runs its external data bus at twice the speed of DDR SDRAM and features a four-bit prefetch buffer, enabling faster performance. However, DDR2 SDRAM memory has greater latency than DDR SDRAM memory. Latency is a measure of how long it takes to receive information from memory; the higher the number, the greater the latency. Typical latency values for mainstream DDR2 memory are CL=5 and CL=6, compared to CL=2.5 and CL=3 for DDR memory. 240-pin memory modules use DDR2 SDRAM.

Most people don’t open up their laptops, though you should probably clean the fans occasionally. With how thin RAM is, you’d be forgiven for thinking that you could just fit a standard RAM DIMM in a laptop without needing any changes. That’s not the case, though. Internal volume is at a high premium in laptops. So they use a smaller form factor, SODIMM. Physical Appearance Almost all systems can be used with a variety of memory sizes. However, systems that are designed to access two or more identical modules as a single logical unit (multi-channel) provide faster performance than systems that access each module as a unit.

Optionally implement ECC, which is an extra data byte lane used for correcting minor errors and detecting major errors for better reliability. Modules with ECC are identified by an additional ECC in their designation. PC2-4200ECC is a PC2-4200 module with ECC. An additional P can be added at the end of the designation, P standing for parity (ex: PC2-5300P).

Some small form factor motherboards may use SODIMM slots rather than full DIMMs. The Nano-ITX motherboard standard also includes a SODIMM slot rather than a full-sized DIMM slot. Some upgradeable office printers, routers, and NASs may also use SODIMM slots. However, this would be compared to soldering the memory chips to the motherboard rather than using full-sized DIMMs. Capacity Issues Buffered (registered) memory modules can be built with or without ECC support. However, most buffered memory modules are used by servers and include ECC support. Figure 4-2 compares a standard (unbuffered) memory module with a buffered (registered) memory module that also supports ECC. SO-DIMM vs DIMM Figure 4-2 A standard unbuffered module (top) compared to a buffered (registered) module with ECC (bottom). If you have been in the tech industry for a while, you will know that there are different types and sizes of RAM/memory modules available. When referring to RAM sizes, we mean its physical size, and not its capacity (4 GB, 16 GB, etc.).

RAM systems are industry-wide standardized, so you need to know the electrical parameters and physical shape of the memory hardware installed in your computer. Because the electrical parameters are different for each generation of memory, the physical form of the memory changes to prevent the wrong memory from being installed in a computer. For example, choosing between SDRAM vs DDR5 isn't possible as motherboards can only use a particular memory specification. Some forms of memory are cross-compatible, but your system will only work with the appropriate RAM.Computer memory module Two types of DIMMs: a 168-pin SDRAM module (top) and a 184-pin DDR SDRAM module (bottom). The SDRAM module has two notches (rectangular cuts or incisions) on the bottom edge, while the DDR1 SDRAM module has one. Also, each module has eight RAM chips, but the lower one has an unoccupied space for the ninth chip; this space is occupied in ECC DIMMs. Three SDRAM DIMM slots on a ABIT BP6 computer motherboard RAM Configurations—Discover how multi-channel memory layouts available on many systems can boost performance and how to install the modules.
