Motherboard & Memory Sockets Details

Most motherboards today come with between 2 and 8 sockets for the insertion of memory. These are usually either SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) or DIMMs (Dual Inline Memory Modules). These sockets .can be of different sizes. The motherboard usually labels these sockets "SIMMO" th'rough"SIMM7" or "DIMMl" through "DIMM3", etc. The sockets are almost always filled starting with the lowest numbered socket first. Most Pentium class or higher motherboards require SIMMs to be inserted in pairs, but DIMMs may be inserted individually.
