| | SO-DIMM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | SO-DIMMs are a smaller alternative to a DIMM, being roughly half the size of regular DIMMs. |
 | | The different types of SO-DIMMs can be recognized at a glance by the distinctive notches used to "key" them for different applications: 100-pin SO-DIMMs have two notches, 144-pin SO-DIMMs have a single notch near (but not at) the center, and 200-pin SO-DIMMs have a single notch nearer to one side. |
 | | SO-DIMMs are more or less equal in power and voltage to DIMMs, and as memory technology moves forward, both SO-DIMMs and DIMMs are available in equal speed (PC3200, for example, and clock speeds such as 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 CAS latency) and capacity (512MB, 1GB, etc.). |
