Detailed explanation-1: -The most common standard DIMMs, with a typical length of 5.5 inches and height of 1.18 inches, are: Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs)–Used mainly on desktop and laptop computers. Although they run faster and cost less, UDIMMs aren’t as stable as registered memory.
Detailed explanation-2: -Currently the most common type of memory module used in PCs is the DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module), which is capable of transferring 64 bits of data per cycle. The memory modules used in notebooks can be regarded as smaller versions of desktop memory modules.
Detailed explanation-3: -DIMM is for desktops, SODIMM is for laptops. If you want to install more than 1 RAM module, they all need to have the same capacity.
Detailed explanation-4: -A SODIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) is a memory module with a smaller outline and thickness than standard DIMM modules and designed primarily for notebook computers.
Detailed explanation-5: -SODIMM – This is a type of RAM module exclusive to laptops (and some mini/small form factor desktops). The main take-away is SODIMM has fewer pins – fewer pins means a smaller module – which is why it is seen in compact devices.
