FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -The RAM slots are adjacent to the CPU socket. Look for the big heat sink at the top of the motherboard, and you’ll see either two or four memory slots next to it. These are the motherboard slots you insert your RAM into.

Detailed explanation-2: -A memory slot, memory socket, or RAM slot allows RAM (computer memory) to be inserted into the computer. Most motherboards have two to four memory slots, which determine the type of RAM used with the computer.

Detailed explanation-3: -A RAM module is rectangular and has a connector on one of the long sides. RAM slots or sockets on a PC motherboard are long channels, generally located close to the CPU. There are clasps on each end of the socket, which will snap tight around the edge of the RAM when plugged in.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.” The more DIMM slots your motherboard has, the more RAM you can install.
