How many modules are installed and how much memory does each hold?
Many of the memory manufacturer websites have tools which will scan your computer and let you know how many memory modules and the size which are installed. There are also programs which you can download which will tell you the same thing. The other option is to open your computer and determine the number of memory modules that are installed, normally the memory modules will all be the same size. To ensure the size of the memory modules you should remove them and read the labels.
What is dual channeling?
Dual-channel architecture requires a dual-channel-capable motherboard and two or more DDR, DDR2 SDRAM, or DDR3 SDRAM memory modules. The memory modules are installed into matching banks, which are usually color-coded on the motherboard.
What on the motherboard holds the memory modules?
Memory Slots
What holds the memory modules on a motherboard?
Memory Slots
What is RAM module?
RAM is computer memory that can be accessed randomly and is generally used as the main memory available for programs. RAM modules are sticks of memory that can be placed into slots on a computer's motherboard.
What type of memory modules are installed on the motherboard?
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.
How many memory modules are on a at492av motherboard?
There are 4.
What is the location on the motherboard that contains slots for memory modules?

What component must be installed in every empty memory module?
Assuming you mean in every "empty memory slot/socket."ClarificationThe memory modules/chips/cards are the items installed into the computer, so an "empty memory module" makes no sense.AnswerIf a memory slot is vacant, nothing needs doing, except in some very old PC-class systems, where memory modules were installed in pairs.
Which type of memory is the main memory installed as DIMMs on a motherboard?
DRAM
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.
What is an area on the motherboard that holds the minimum number of memory chips or memory modules that must work together as a unit?
That depends on the age and class of motherboard. You must use the correct memory modules and the correct number of them. Usually this is in pairs.
