DIMM Memory / RAM
What
is SO DIMM Memory? A SO-DIMM,
or small outline
dual in-line memory
module, is a type
of computer memory
integrated circuit.
SO-DIMMs are a smaller alternative to a DIMM, being roughly half the size of regular DIMMs. As a result SO-DIMMs are mainly utilised in laptops,
small footprint PCs (such as those with a Mini-ITX motherboard) and high-end upgradable office printers.SO-DIMMs have 72 pins (supporting 32-bit data transfer) or
144 pins or 200 pins (both supporting 64-bit data transfer). This compares to regular DIMMs that have 168 pins and support 64-bit data transfer.
