Laptops rarely use the standard SIMM and DIMM memory modules used by non-portable machines. Instead, you may find:

• 72 pin SODimm (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module [1] )
• 144 Pin SODimm (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module [2])
• DDR SDRAM (Dual Data Rate Synchronous RAM [3])
• SDRAM (Single data rate Synchronous RAM [4])
• and, proprietary memory modules. K7aay 18:55, 21 May 2008 (PDT)
