Depending on what type of motherboard, the number of memory slots can vary. For desktops, most ATX motherboards have 4 memory slots, however some newer ones with LGA2011 socket types have 8 memory slots. Then there are some micro-ATX and some ITX motherboards that have 2 slots.
If you're wondering about server or supercomputer motherboards, then there are more possibilities than the ones I just mentioned.

What type of memory modules will you need for the motherboard that has an LGA775 socket for an Intel Pentium 4 processor?
smm
Which two characteristics are determined by the chip set on a motherboard?
Maximum amount of memory that can be installed and type of connectors that will be on the motherboard
What is the maximum amount of memory the banks on your motherboard can accommodate motherboard 210882?
It depends on the motherboard. If you can find out what type of motherboard you have, you can look up what type of memory and how much of it you can install into the memory banks. Keep in mind that the operating system that you have may limit how much of the installed memory you can actually use.
What is tall memory?
Any type of memory can be considered "tall" memory. This just relates to the physical dimensions of the memory module. So it is higher from the motherboard than similar memory modules. The main concern here is the heat sink for the CPU. When larger CPU heat sinks are used, they often cover the memory modules, so you would need memory that will fit under the heat sink. If there isn't enough clearance, then you cannot use both that heat sink and the tall memory modules.
A technician has been asked to install memory that detects multiple bit errors and corrects single bit errors in memory Which type of memory should be installed if the motherboard supports these feat?
ECC RAM memory.
What is a memory module?
Memory modules are used for adding RAM to a computer motherboard. As a standard computer industry practice the motherboard manufacturers do not add RAM to motherboards but provide slots (empty sockets) to which memory modules can be added as per computer configuration needs of the end user. Semiconductor RAM which is manufactured as standard chips is assembled on printed circuit boards as memory modules of different capacities (e.g 512MB , 1GB or 2GB). Examples include SIMM, DIMM, SODIMM. These module printed circuit board size, shape and signals are standard as defined for various memory types e.g. 200pin laptop DDR2 SODIMM is a common laptop memory type these days. Since there are standard modules for all type of computers, for a specific computer type you can just buy memory module and add RAM to the computer.
List five things to consider when upgrading memory?
How much memory do I need? How much RAM is currently installed in my system? How many and what kind of memory modules are currently installed on my motherboard? How much and what kind of memory can I fit in my motherboard? How do I select and purchase the right memory for my upgrade? How much memory do I need?

The type of memory required in a computer is determined by?
the motherboard
Can a motherboard installs different size DIMM memory?
No. A motherboard will specify what type of memory it supports. The DIMM slot for DDR,DDR2 and DDR3 have different footprints.
How do you mesure memory?
Memory is measured in bytes, specifically Megabytes, one Megabyte is a million bytes. The more important question is the type of memory you need. There are different type depending on how old your computer is, there is Single Inline Memory Modules (SIMMS) and Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMS). Make sure you have the right type or your system will not work. Hope this helps.
