What is a double in-line memory module?

Dual memory module in-line (DIMM) is a type of random access (RAM) used on different computers. Each dual in-line memory module can use a series of so-called integrated double in-line circuits. These integrated circuits that work at the concert provide a way to write, read and rewrite information dynamically.

Integrated circuits are simply miniaturized circuits that exist on the surface of substrate material such as silicon. Generally known as microchips, dual in-line package diversity of integrated circuits can be recognized by their flat rectangular shape. They also have two parallel rows of pegs.

There are many different types of dual memory module with dual in-line, each of which can have a different number of pins. These can range from 72 to 240 and usually dictate which type DIMM is a unit. DIMM with 72 pins can be known as Sodimm, which means a small outline of dual in-line Memory module. These rELASTERS SMALL RAM MODURE MOILS can be found in laptops, in some top printers and computers with small parent plates for a shape factor. They are the smallest of DIMM, allowing them to use them in applications where it is space.

In addition to having different numbers of pins, many DIMM has seen notches that allow flawless installation. Because these notches are at different places along DNA DIMM and may vary in the number of between one and three, it is generally impossible to install the wrong DIMM for any application. By observing the location and number of notches, it can be possible to determine whether the RAM module is correct before installation.

The difference between the dual in-line module and the module in one in-line memory module (SIMM), which replaced, is that most DIMM uses the width of 64-bit bus, while Simms only had a 32-bit data path. Suddenly processors with 32 -bit bus width prevail but introduction 6The 4 -bit data path processors required SIMM to be installed in the corresponding pairs to add a total of 64 bits. The introduction of DIMMS allowed one RAM module to use one RAM instead of two SIMMs.

Dual in-line memory modules have undergone many design developments because they were first introduced at the beginning of the 90's. The following generation DIMM, such as double data speed (DDR), DDR2 and DDR3, has all increased the amount of memory that each module could contain, while increasing the speed at which they could be written and read.
