DIMM stands for Dual Inline Memory Module. DIMM slots are the slots on a motherboard that hold the memory modules.
You can get memory dimms as big as 4 gigabytes and your computer will have three or four slots for a dimm.
DIMM
The function of a DIMM slot is to transfer data at a rate of 64 bits. This has a faster rate compared to SIMM memory modules that operates at speeds of 32 bits.
The technology behind making SO-DIMM memory is more expensive than their Desktop counterparts DIMM memory
The DDR DIMM is an older type of RAM. DDR DIMM is not compatible with other kinds of RAM which is why a person that has an older PC has to choose a DDR DIMM memory as a replacement for one that broke.
Drd dimm memory is basically temporary memory stored on a small stick. An electrical charge is needed in order to keep it activated.
You can not use RIMM memory in a DIMM type Motherboard, or vise versa. Although they pretty much do the same job, they work in different ways.
DIMM is an open standard. DIMM is also copyrighted open standard.
You're computer will require a "DDR2 SDRAM DIMM". DDR2 SDRAM is the type of memory you are after, it is also a DIMM. Most modern memory are all DIMM's (Dual inline memory module), much older ram were SIMMS (single ingline memory module). DIMM refers more to the physical make up of the module (DIMMS have contacts on both sides of the module). So any DDR2 SDRAM that you buy IS a dimm. You may want to look at the wikipedia page about DDR2 SDRAM at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM
No. A motherboard will specify what type of memory it supports. The DIMM slot for DDR,DDR2 and DDR3 have different footprints.
