A dimm slot on a computer motherboard is used to add extended memory or Ram ( random access memory ) all motherboards have a minimum and maximum amount of memory and memory speed which can be used.The more memory in a computer system the greater the performance especially for video rendering and other high end tasks. Computer motherboards have different types of dimm slots which use different types of memory and memory speeds. examples are
Sd ram uses 168 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speed 100mhz or 133 mhz
Ddr ram uses 184 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speeds of 266 mhz to 400mhz
Ddr2 ram uses 240 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speeds of 533 to 1200mhz
Ddr 3 ram uses 240 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speeds of 1333mhz upwards
Each motherboard has a notch in the dimm slot so the wrong type of memory can not be installed in the wrong motherboard. Example ddr3 memory will not fit in a ddr2 memory motherboard.when upgrading memory persons should find the required memory type and memory speed from the motherboard manufacturer specifaciations data to ensure full compatibility. The faster the memory speed and the greater the memory amount the faster the computer system

What is DIMM's?
Variants of DIMM slots support DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 RAM. The most common types of DIMMs are: 72-pin SO-DIMM (not the same as a 72-pin SIMM), used for FPM DRAM and EDO DRAM. 100-pin DIMM, used for printer SDRAM.
Can a ddr2 and a ddr3 use the same dimm slot on a motherboard?
No, you can't use same DIMM slots for DDR2 and DDR3 due to different position of the key and interface incapability.
