Conclusion On Memory Modules - Occasionally Ram and memory module are two different things but in the term of Ram memory module may be included within this specific utility.
I want to know the difference between “Ram and Memory Module” Is those two things related with eachother anyway?
What Is “RAM”?
“RAM” stands for Random access memory where you can use computer with different equipments on one plateform.
Memory Module
Memory Module is type of memory slot available at any RAM where the main memory of the RAM Lies, The memory module used to define the size of the memory of “RAM”.
Here are some of the Relation of Ram and momory module with some other devices.
- Ram directly interact with the Processor’s cache memory and it may be possible that if the processor programmed to support interaction with the memory module of ram then modules also interact directly with the Processor’s cache memory.
- Your hard disk may be work as a primary memory if they support virtual memory feature with operating at the time of the running an operating system.
- It can be possible that your computer or laptop support more than one ram then you can use all the memory modules of those ram simlutaneously while those modules will interact with each other.
- Here is the scree shot of memory module.
Here are The main relations between the memory modules givem below.
Relation between the “RAM” (Random Access Memory) and Memory Modules”
Memory Module is one of the utility used by Ram manufacturer to divide memory slots on one of the real physical slots in the “RAM”.
Here are some of the relation between ram and the memory module slots.
- Suppose if your Ram is 2 GigaBytes of memory. then it may possible that it can be take various combinations of the memory modules Like.
- Your 2 GB (which is 2 Gigabytes) Ram May consist 2 Slots of 1 GB each Memory Modules for using 2 GB Ram.
- Your 2 GB (which is 2 Gigabytes) Ram May consist 1 Slots of Memory Modules for using 2 GB Ram.
- Your 2 GB (which is 2 Gigabytes) Ram May consist 4 Slots of 512 MB each Memory Modules for using 2 GB Ram.
- It is also possible that if the Computer having more than one RAM in the configuration then memory slots on the RAM will work like as they programmmed or ordered by operating system.
Types of Memory Module
There are mainly three types of memory modules now a days used in the Ram For making slots for better use of memory.
-
SIMM (single in-line memory module)
Here are some of the characteristics of the Single in-line memory module.
- Thos SIMM consist 30-Pin Connector.
- Size of the single in-line memory module nearly 3.5 Inch in width and 0.75 Inch in height.
- As if you are using 2 RAM of 4GB so totally 8GB of RAM in your system then those RAM can send 4 bit of data at one time. But in place of those RAM if you use 8GB of RAM in one slot then that RAM can send 8 bit of data at one time.
-
DIMM (Dual in-line memory module)
Here are some of the characteristics of the Single in-line memory module.
- Thos DIMM consist 168-pin or 184-pin Connector.
- Size of the Dual in-line memory module nearly 5.4 Inch in width and 1.00 Inch in height.
-
SODIMM (Small outline dual in-line memory module)
Here are some of the characteristics of the Single in-line memory module.
- Thos DIMM consist 144-pin or 200-pin Connector.
- Size of the Small outline dual in-line memory moduled nearly 2.0 Inch in width and 1.00 Inch in height.
- Capacity Range of the Small outline dual in-line memory module 16 MB to 1 GB per module.
