Laptops use smaller version of a DIMM called a?
DIMM is also called a RAM stick, its a kind of circuit board used for our personal computers and laptops.
What type of DIMM does a motherboard use with three yellow DIMM slots and one black slot and how can you be sure?
Most likely DDR3 SDRAM. It is capable of triple-channelling, hence the three yellow label slots. :)
What type of RAM does a Gateway FX 6000 use?
Dimm
Are RIMM and DIMM interchangeable?
You can not use RIMM memory in a DIMM type Motherboard, or vise versa. Although they pretty much do the same job, they work in different ways.
What is the use of DIMM?
The function of a DIMM slot is to transfer data at a rate of 64 bits. This has a faster rate compared to SIMM memory modules that operates at speeds of 32 bits.
If you were planning to buy a new system would you choose a motherboard that uses dimms or rimms why?
dimm is better, dimm is faster, most motherboards is designed to work with this type of memory..
Which type of memory are you likely to find in todays laptops?
Computer uses Memory installed on DIMM Slots on Motherboards.Nowadays different versions of DDR RAMs are used (DDR1, DDR2 & DDR3).Laptops use similar memories (DDR1, DDR2 & DDR3) but in small form of DIMM Sockets called Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) memories.
Is dimm or rimm more expensive?
RAMBUS, (RIMM). You need a license just to use this type of memory module. Not just anyone could use it you have to get permission.
Can a ddr2 and a ddr3 use the same dimm slot on a motherboard?
No, you can't use same DIMM slots for DDR2 and DDR3 due to different position of the key and interface incapability.
Can a motherboard use a combination of single-sided and double-sided DIMMs?
Yes. The Intel CC820 motherboard has two DIMM slots that can use two single-sided DIMMs , two double-sided DIMMs or one single-sided DIMM and one double sided DIMM. In that case, the single-sided DIMM must be in the first slot.
What types of memory do notebooks typically use?
SO-DIMM
How many pins are on a sdram dimm on a ddr dimm on a simm on a rimm?
168 pins are used on SDRAM DIMM. 184 pins are used on DDR DIMM. There are either 30 pins or 72 pins used on SIMM. 184 pins are used on RIMM.
