On a desk top, open the cabinet and look at the main circuit board, the 'Motherboard'. Somewhere in the middle will be two long sockets holding 1 or two long thin circuit boards, held in place with plastic latches either end. These are your memory modules.
On a laptop, turn it over and look underneath. One of the several square access panels will cover the memory slots.
Undo the panel via the two screws. Underneath you will find a small circuit board, with chips on it. This is the SODIMM memory module. It is held in place at either end by springy metal catches. Move the catches outward and the memory module should spring up slightly to enable you to slide it out of the socket. Some laptops have two sockets, one on top of the other.

What are the different types of random access memory?
the two main types of RAM are: SRAM- static random access memory which is faster but more expensive it also takes up valuable space. It tends to be used for cache memory and it doesnt have to be periocically refreshed. DRAM- dynamic random access memory, the most common type of RAM, an advantage of DRAM is its structural simplicity.
What is The most important kind of memory that a typical computer uses during the processing operation?
random access
Whats the most common wireless internet access?
The most common wireless internet access is Comcast. They have millions of customers. Their internet is great. The internet is very fast and there are no limits.
With the discretionary access control model the most common control implementation is through?
access control lists
What content is erased when the computer is turn off?
The contents of the Random Access Memory (RAM) are lost on switch off, unless the contents is first saved to the hard drive, or an external drive. RAM is considered to be a volatile memory.
What memory card reader has the most slots?
Generally, memory card readers have four or five slots that fit multiple types of memory cards.
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.
Which memory card reader offers the most types of memory card slots?
Pretty must most memory card readers read all types of memory.
Do all of the printers available come with memory card slots?
Not all printers come with memory card slots, but most midrange (over $80) printers do, such as HP's and Canon's.
What is the most common cause of blue screen errors?
Faulty RAM or inappropriate memory access attempts by applications.
Mother board has 4 memory slots how many have to be filled to start up?
This depends on the design of the motherboard. Check the manual to find out the required configuration for your motherboard. If you do not have access to the manual, then experiment with different configurations to see what will work. You most likely will not cause any damage to the motherboard. If you insert one stick of memory in slot 1 and it does not work, try installing a second to see what happens. If the memory slots all are the same color, you usually only need to fill one slot at a time. However, if the slots are different colors (blue or white) then you usually need to install the memory in matching pairs.
What is the type of RAM memory used most often in today's computers?
In the most common form of computer memory, dynamic random access memory (DRAM).
Ram full form?
RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory. Random Access Memory is the most commonly known type of computer memory.
What type of memory is considered volatile memory?
In computing the most common type of currently used volatile memory is random access (RAM). RAM volatility involves the loss of data upon power loss to the RAM modules.
How can one install more printer memory?
Most printers will have memory slots (especially the new up to date printers). Your printer should come with a guide that gives a description on how to install more memory.
What is dual channel memory?
It is a technology that theoretically doubles data throughput from the memory to the memory controller. The motherboard has memory slots and if not using all four slots, then they must be placed in a certain configuration for it to use dual channels. Your motherboard manual has the configuration of memory and slot placement for this to work. If running dual, it is best to buy memory that is designed as a pair or a set to get the most efficiency, it usually says, dual channel kit.
Why do we need computer RAM?
Most modern computers use Random Access Memory for their main memory. However you don't need Random Access Memory, Sequential Access Memory is perfectly adequate and has been used in many computers in the past for main memory (it just happens to be much slower to access than Random Access Memory as you need to wait for the location to come around again).
