SODIMM is a term that applies to laptop memory. The "SO" prefix stands for "Small Outline".
Small-Outline Double In-Line Memory Module, DIMM just refers to 64bit RAM SODIMM = Laptop Ram DIMM = Dekstop Ram
The type of computers that uses 68-pin micro-dimm and 144-pin so-dimm. :P problem... you just got trolled.
Small outline.
It is not hard to install the 2GB DDR2 SO-DIMM in your Acer laptop.
Yes, the 2GB DDR2 SO-DIMM is specifically for Acer laptops.
DIMM is also called a RAM stick, its a kind of circuit board used for our personal computers and laptops.
DIMM stands for Dual In-line Memory Module. Have a look at the Wikipedia entry in the attached link. There is a picture on the rightihand side of the article of the DIMM slots on ta motherboard.
2.66" 204-pin SO-DIMM contains DDR3 memory. The one notch on the module is offset from the center of the module.

Variants of DIMM slots support DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 RAM. The most common types of DIMMs are: 72-pin SO-DIMM (not the same as a 72-pin SIMM), used for FPM DRAM and EDO DRAM. 100-pin DIMM, used for printer SDRAM.
SO-DIMMs are smaller then regular DIMM so are suited for laptops where space is at a premium. Speed and power is similar to DIMM size memory.
