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.

What are three kinds of memory modules?
DIMM- DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULE RIMM - RAMBUS INLINE MEMORY MODULE SIMM SINGLE INLINE MEMORY MODULE
A rambus memory module is called?
RIMM (Rambus in-line memory module) - as opposed to a DIMM (dual in-line memory module). Also referred to as an RDRAM module.
What is a memory module that houses RDRAM chips?
RIMM (Rambus inline memory module)
SIMM and DIMM?
Single in-line memory module and dual in-line memory module.
What are the three types of ram boards?
SIMM (Single inline memory module), DIMM (Dual inline memory module), and RIMM (Rambus inline memory module)
What type of memory requires a continuity module?
Rambus. Rambus memory is serial and requires that all memory slots be populated. If a memory slot is not populated with a memory module, a continuity module must be used to complete the serial circuit.

What the computer term DIMM stands for?
dual in-line memory module
What does SIMM stand for?
Single Inline Memory Module, used to refer to memory chips prior to the introduction of Dual Inline Memory Module.
If a memory module is 16x64 what is the size of the module?

RAM on motherboards today is stored on?
A memory module called DIMM (dual inline memory module)
What type of memory module is typically used in laptop computer?
The type of memory module is typically used in laptop computers is known as SODIMM. This stands for small outline dual in-line memory module.
