Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM) is a type of memory module that comes in 72
pins and 144 pins. The 72-pin SO-DIMM
supports 32-bit transfers, and the 144-pin SO-DIMM supports 64-bit transfers. It was introduced for

packages, consume lesser power, but are more expensive than DIMMs.
