Identifying Memory Module

Memory Module - A device that are used to store data or programs (sequences of instructions) on a temporary or permanent basis for use in an electronic digital computer.

• Volatile memory is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information.
• Non-volatile memory is computer memory that can retain the stored information even when not powered.

Types of Memory Module

30 Pin and 72 Pin SIMM Module

DIMM - SDRAM Single Data Rate

DDR - Double Data Rate

DDR2 and DDR3

SO-DIMM  (Small outline dual in-line memory module)SO-DIMMs are a smaller alternative to a DIMM, being roughly half the size of regular DIMMs. used in systems which have space restrictions such as notebooks. 

• 72 Pin SODIMM
• 100 Pin Firmware SODIMM  (32 bit data transfer rate)
• 144 Pin EDO SODIMM (64 bit data transfer rate)
• DDR333 200-Pin SODIMM Memory (64 bit data transfer rate)
• PC3200 DDR400 200-pin SODIMM (64 bit data transfer rate)
