RAM Question

[silentphoenix]

Was thinking of getting some more stick of RAM but I have a question (or a couple actually)...

Is standard PC133 RAM 144 pin or 168 pin?

And what on earth is 184 pin RAM? (Woops my bad.. this is DDr right?)

How does one refer to laptop ddr memory in terms of 'pins'?

Thanks

This should be in the hardware forum, but I'll answer anyway!

Standard PC133 SDRAM is 168Pin. DDR is either 168 or 184 pin IIRC.

Most DDR laptop memory (SODIMM or something) is 200 pins.

Again, this is all if I remember correctly.

IIRC it's most usually,

72pin EDO, FastPage (ancient)
144pin EDO
168pin SDRAM DIMM (PC66, PC100, PC133)
184pin DDR DIMM (PC1600, PC2100, PC2700, PC3200)

SODIMM are for laptops and usually have a smaller number of pins than the desktop equivilent but you should find a decent guide somewhere at www.crucial.com/uk
