There are 3 kinds of RAM: SIMM (Single inline memory module), RIMM (Rambus inline memory module) & DIMM (Dual inline memory module).

SIMMs have a 32-bit data path and are rated by speed, measured in nanoseconds, Common SIMM speeds are 60, 70, or 80 ns, the smaller the speed rating is, the faster the chip.

DIMMs have a 64-bit data path, and are rated by the amount of memory they hold which can be anywhere from 8MB to 2GB. The 240-pin DDR2 DIMM is currently the fastest memory and has one notchnear the center.

RIMMs are named after Rambus Inc., the company that developed it. RIMMs are now slower than current DIMMs

Maybe. It depends on what the motherboard of the "machine" supports. Remember, too, that there are different kinds of memory, so if you just happen to have the memory sticks, they may be different kinds, and the motherboard will only support one of the kinds. (DDR, DDR2, etc.) Furthermore, if you are not using a sixty-four bit operating system, only about three gig will be available for use.

What RAM does an apple computer use?

Depends on the Computer.For example:PowerBooks to iBooks are nolonger supported by any RAM manufacturer.White Core 2 Duo MacBooks generally use DDR2 SDRAM from 667-800 MhzNew MacBook Airs and rMBPs have RAM soldered to the board. However, it is DDR3L RAM, at differing clocks.Apple Computers (and all computers for that matter) use many kinds of RAM and have many different clock speeds, so it depends on the computer.

State three types of data stored in RAM?

Three types? Where did you hear this from? There is only one way RAM stores data. Data is not a type. RAM stores information in binary form. There are microscopic capacitors in the RAM chips which either store a charge (on, 1) or have no charge (off, 0). But RAM can hold all kinds of information that a computer uses. It can hold CPU instructions, hard disk information, graphics data, text, numbers, decimals, etc.

This is because different motherboards require many different kinds of RAM depending on a whole host of factors. Just because two sticks of RAM are the same size in terms of memory doesn't mean they are interchangable; physically they might not fit, or they might run at different speeds, and so forth.
