DIMM memory slots are found on many modern motherboards and can be used to install memory modules. A DIMM is a type of memory module which consists of two or more chips.
The motherboard uses a DIMM socket to accept the DIMMs. The number of DIMM slots on a motherboard is usually equal to the number of memory channels it supports.
A DIMM supports up to DDR4-2400 MHz memory speeds. The number of DIMMs installed in a system affects the system’s total memory capacity.
Installing two DIMMs in a system results in a total memory capacity of 4GB, for example. If only one DIMM is installed, the system has a total memory capacity of 2GB.
DDR4-2400 MHz memory modules work with most DDR4 motherboards, but some older DDR3 motherboards may not support these speeds. It is important to check the compatibility of the modules before purchase.
