Memory Module A memory module stores temporary data that your computer needs to perform tasks. Any file or application loads in the memory modules before you can open or use them. Memory modules are categorized based on their capacity (in GB) and speed (in MHz). Faster and higher amount of memory generally provides better performance. Common memory‑module types are: • Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) - Used in desktop computers. • Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module (SODIMM) - Smaller in size than DIMMs. Generally used in notebook computers, however, may also be used in some compact desktops and all-in-one computers. 26  Memory Module

you can open or use them. Memory modules are categorized based on
their capacity (in GB) and speed (in MHz). Faster and higher amount of
memory generally provides better performance. Common memory-module
types are:
Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) — Used in desktop computers.
Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module (SODIMM) — Smaller in size
