∙ 7y agoThere have been many ways to install RAM over the decades. When I first started working with home computers, RAM was expanded by a big brick (measuring about four inches high, four inches wide, and about two inches thick) that attached through the back using a proprietary interface on the back of the computer...and this expanded it from 4K to a "whopping" 16K.
Since then, RAM has been installed by directly installing individual chips onto the motherboard and later by installing SIP or SIM modules with the latter being the closest to what we use today. As we approach the end of 2016, the most common memory interface is DDR3 but DDR4 is starting to make its presence known in the market as well, finally coming down from the server market and into the higher-end of the home computer and gaming computer arenas.
If you have any other questions about this or other computer-related issues, feel free to drop me a line. I'm always glad to help!

Where is the RAM installed?
In RAM Slots.
You have a1gb ram but your computersays it is a 512mb ram?
It may be two slots of 512 installed
Can you have ram from a pci slot?
No, RAM is installed in separate specially sited RAM or SIMM slots in the motherboard.
Are ddr2 compatible with older p4 motherboards with sd ram slots?
No. These modules are electrically, logically, and physically incompatible with older SDRAM slots.
Can you add memory to a computer using an expansion slot?
Not RAM, the random access memory must be installed in the dedicated slots. You can add secondary memory (like another hard drive) in an expansion slot.
Can you upgrade your ram without removing any current memory modules?
That depends on how many slots you have and if they are all filled or not.
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 feature is used on memory slots and modules to prevent modules from being inserted incorrectly?
A small plastic piece within the slot, which matches the small cut on the RAM chip. -Chris Arbeene (Inaiá Rossi)
Which type of RAM modules are designed for the space limitations of laptops?

Explain the Five components of the mother board?
On a motherboard, a CPU socket is where the processors placed, while memory slots are used to insert RAM modules. Additionally, the chipset is an interface between the front side bus and main memory, the flash ROM is used for the system's BIOS, and expansion slots are used for additional cards that can be inserted into the motherboard.
What is the maximum amount of RAM supported by an MSI MS-7082 motherboard?
The MSI MS-7082 supports a maximum of 2 GB of RAM, using DDR400 modules in 2 slots (1 GB per slot).
Can you change the ram slots?
If you want to change the RAM slots, you need to change the motherboard.
