Useful read regards processor Slots. The motherboard holds the microprocessor, the memory and several card slots. The memory may be SIMM sockets or DIMM sockets. As I know the current standard is DIMM socketed memory. This is usually 168 pin 3 volt unbuffered synchronous DRAM memory. Thanks for sharing such useful information.

Thanks & Regards
