Identify the area showing the DIMM slots in the image of the motherboard.
Explanation:
Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) is a type of memory module that comes with 168 and 184 pins.
A DIMM slot is larger than a SIMM slot. DIMM with 168 pins has two notches on its base. 184-pin
DIMMs are for DDR SDRAM modules which are available in Pentium III and Pentium 4 and Athlon
systems. 184-pin DIMMs are available in PC2100, PC2700, PC3200 and PC3500 and faster. The
number of chips on a 184-pin DIMM may vary, but they have 92 pins on both side of DIMM for a
total of 184. 184-pin DIMMs are 5.375″ long and 1.375″ high, and the heights may vary. DIMMs have
a small notch on the bottom of the module. DIMM mounts onto its slots differently than SIMM.
What is SIMM?
Single Inline Memory Module (SIMM) is a type of memory module that comes in two types, 30-pin
and 72-pin. A 72-pin SIMM can be easily identified by a single notch on its base. A 30-pin SIMM does
not have a notch on its base.
