Common types of DIMM Memory Modules used in computers are a 168 pin SDRAM Module, or a 184 pin DDR SDRAM. These boards are designed to be used in personal computers.
Gold or Tin
They are either plated with tin or gold.
Any type of memory can be considered "tall" memory. This just relates to the physical dimensions of the memory module. So it is higher from the motherboard than similar memory modules. The main concern here is the heat sink for the CPU. When larger CPU heat sinks are used, they often cover the memory modules, so you would need memory that will fit under the heat sink. If there isn't enough clearance, then you cannot use both that heat sink and the tall memory modules.
ECC stands for Error Checking and Correction. This type of memory module is used to correct memory errors within the computer registry. ECC memory modules generally have 9 chips compared to 8 chips in a non-ECC memory module. This is the easiest way to differentiate the two.
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.
The amount of RAM that is physically installed on the memory modules in your computer is known as the memory size or memory capacity. This determines the storage capacity for temporary data storage and retrieval while the computer is running programs. RAM is crucial for system performance as it provides quick access to data for the CPU.
PNY, as in the memory manufacturer, stands for Paris New York, as they used to distribute their memory modules from Paris, France to New York in the US!
