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 two most common memory chips?

The two most common types of memory chips are Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and Static Random Access Memory (SRAM). DRAM is widely used in computers and other devices for main memory due to its higher density and lower cost, while SRAM is faster and used for cache memory in processors due to its speed and reliability. Both types play crucial roles in modern computing architectures.


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.


Which is a small circuit board where RAM chips usually reside is inserted into the motherboard?

The small circuit board where RAM chips typically reside is called a RAM module or memory module, with the most common type being the DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) for desktops and SO-DIMM (Small Outline DIMM) for laptops. These modules are inserted into the motherboard's DIMM slots, allowing the computer to access and utilize the installed memory for processing tasks.


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).


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.


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.
