What is the function of the memory slot?
A
To hold the RAM
B
To hold the ROM
C
To hold the CPU
D
To hold the ALU
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A DIMM (/dɪm/) (Dual In-line Memory Module), commonly called a RAM stick, comprises a series of dynamic random-access memory integrated circuits.

Detailed explanation-3: -This means that if you only populate some of the slots, say, four RAM slots on the first CPU’s side, the second CPU won’t have any RAM of its own and will have to go through the first CPU to get any RAM for the tasks that it might be performing, which can lead to major slowdowns.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you have a single RAM stick, its position is usually the A2 slot. If you have two RAM sticks, you should use the A2 & B2 or 2 & 4 positioning, meaning the slot which is furthest away from the CPU socket and the other that’s one position away from it.
