Will DDR3 SDRAM work with DDR3 DIMM slots?

Solution


DDR3 DIMM is a JEDEC standard arrangement of DDR3 SDRAM Integrated Circuits on a printed circuit board that can be used in a modular fashion to maximize interoperability. There are other modular DDR3 formfactors such as DDR3-SODIMM, DDR3-MiniDIMM, and DDR3-MicroDIMM. Some devices may also have DDR3 SDRAM integrated circuits soldered directly to the device to save cost and space at the expensive of flexibility (most tablets and game consoles are constructed like this)
