The banks themselves don't really look all that different. It's usually better to research the make and model of the motherboard to figure out what it has.

The modules themselves are easy. DIMMs have their RAM chips on both sides, whereas SIMMs are only blessed with RAM chips on one side.

In reality pretty much every motherboard made within well over a decade only has a DIMM memory bank, so it may not be worth your time or energy trying to find out if the motherboard you have has SIMM or DIMM banks. It's almost guaranteed to have DIMM.

What is the difference between SDRAM and DIMM because I want to buy a new computer and it says it takes DDR2 SDRAM but when i search he net i find DIMMs. Will the DIMM work?

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
