WHAT IS A MOTHERBOARD

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are the numbers of pins that can be found on DIMM modules used in desktop motherboards? (Choose two.)
A
180
B
184
C
200
D
204
E
240
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DDR SDRAM is manufactured on a 184-pin DIMM. DIMMs with 168 pins were used for SDR SDRAM. 224-pin DIMMs do not exist. DIMMs with 240 pins are used for DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM.

Detailed explanation-2: -On the bottom edge of 168-pin DIMMs there are two notches, and the location of each notch determines a particular feature of the module.

Detailed explanation-3: -DIMMs used in desktop-motherboard applications have one of three possible pin counts. SDR SDRAM is implemented on 168-pin modules. DDR SDRAM and 16-bit RIMMs are implemented on 184-pin modules. DDR2 and DDR3 are implemented on 240-pin modules with different keying.

Detailed explanation-4: -240-pin memory modules use DDR2 SDRAM.
