A Dual In Line Memory Module (DIMM) is a PCB that consists of a number of DRAM chips and is used to support a 64-bit or wider memory bus.
A 184-pin DIMM is usually found in desktop computers or servers.
The term memory module refers to a printed circuit board on which several memory chips are mounted. The memory chips are usually DRAM chips, but recent system designs use cache chips mounted on memory modules as well. Memory modules are installed on the PC’s motherboard. They are used to make up the initial assembly and are installed into dedicated sockets. The number of DRAM chips mounted on the module and the capacity of the memory module is determined by the system. The design of the module, which determines a systems maximum memory capacity, is also based on the systems architecture.
