What is the difference between a DIMM memory module and a SODIMM memory module?
DIMM modules must be installed in pairs, while SODIMM modules do not.
DIMM modules are compatible with motherboards designed for PCs, while SODIMM modules are intended for Apple hardware.
A SODIMM module is half the size of a DIMM module, and is generally used in laptops.
DIMM modules have a 32-bit data path only, while SODIMM modules have either 32-bit or 64-bit data paths.
SODIMM are dumber than DIMM. I mean, DIMM are dim, but SODIMM are SOOOOOOO dim!
What happens when you install RAM modules that operate faster than the bus speed of the motherboard?
The speed of the motherboard will increase to match the speed of the newly-installed RAM.
You will receive a POST error, and will not be able to load the operating system.
The RAM must slow down to that of the bus speed of motherboard.
The motherboard will not recognize that you have installed new RAM modules.
The result will be a roaring house fire of epic magnitudes.
What is the purpose of the system PSU (Power Supply Unit)?
To provide cooling for internal system components.
To carry out instructions for the system processor.
