The characteristics are:
1) Total memory size (in Megabytes or Gigabytes)
2) Memory Speed (in MHz)
3) Memory Timing (in nanoseconds)
4) Memory architecture (Rambus, DDR2, DDR3 etc.)
5) Parity presence (parity checking or not)
6) Package size (SIMM, DIMM, SO-DIMM etc.)
Other factors such as the presence of a heat sink, chips on both sides or only one side of the board may be important when using with certain systems.
DIMM- DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULE RIMM - RAMBUS INLINE MEMORY MODULE SIMM SINGLE INLINE MEMORY MODULE
RIMM (Rambus in-line memory module) - as opposed to a DIMM (dual in-line memory module). Also referred to as an RDRAM module.
Single in-line memory module and dual in-line memory module.
RIMM (Rambus inline memory module)
SIMM (Single inline memory module), DIMM (Dual inline memory module), and RIMM (Rambus inline memory module)
Rambus. Rambus memory is serial and requires that all memory slots be populated. If a memory slot is not populated with a memory module, a continuity module must be used to complete the serial circuit.

dual in-line memory module
Single Inline Memory Module, used to refer to memory chips prior to the introduction of Dual Inline Memory Module.

A memory module called DIMM (dual inline memory module)
The type of memory module is typically used in laptop computers is known as SODIMM. This stands for small outline dual in-line memory module.
