Identifying Memory Module

Memory modules are used to temporarily or permanently store data and programs for computers. There are two main types: volatile memory which requires power to maintain data and non-volatile which retains data without power. Common memory module types include SIMMs, DIMMs, SODIMMs, and versions of DDR RAM like DDR2, DDR3, and DDR4 with different pin configurations and data transfer rates.

Identifying Memory Module

Memory  Module - A device that are used to store data or programs (sequences of instructions) on a
temporary or permanent basis for use in an electronic digital computer.

 Volatile memory is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information.


 Non-volatile memory is computer memory that can retain the stored information even when not
powered.

Types of Memory Module

30 Pin and 72 Pin SIMM Module

DIMM - SDRAM Single Data Rate


DDR - Double Data Rate

DDR2 and DDR3


SO-DIMM  (Small outline dual in-line memory module)SO-DIMMs are a smaller alternative to a DIMM,
being roughly half the size of regular DIMMs. used in systems which have space restrictions such as
notebooks. 

 72 Pin SODIMM
 100 Pin Firmware SODIMM  (32 bit data transfer rate)
 144 Pin EDO SODIMM (64 bit data transfer rate)
 DDR333 200-Pin SODIMM Memory (64 bit data transfer rate)
 PC3200 DDR400 200-pin SODIMM (64 bit data transfer rate)
