Detailed explanation-1: -A memory slot, memory socket, or RAM slot is what allows computer memory (RAM) to be inserted into the computer. Depending on the motherboard, there will usually be 2 to 4 memory slots (sometimes more on high-end mother-boards), and they will determine the type of RAM used with the computer.
Detailed explanation-2: -DIMM (dual in-line memory module) slots are the place on your motherboard where the RAM goes. As such, you may also see DIMM slots referred to as “RAM slots.”
Detailed explanation-3: -DRAM is a type of Random Access Memory (RAM) and is volatile memory, meaning it loses the stored data when the power is removed. DRAM stores the data in a charge on a transistor and capacitor pair. DRAM is configured in modules that are fitted into a slot on a computer motherboard.
Detailed explanation-4: -The RAM modules are installed on memory slots which are usually located to the right of the CPU socket. Some motherboards have memory slots on both sides of the CPU socket, but those are mostly in the case of high-end workstation boards.
