Laptop memory comes in several shapes and sizes. For purposes of sorting, memory can be grouped by physical size.This process identifies the physical characteristics of the ram. Once that is done, it can be further separated by location of the rejection slot on the ram. This slot is in different locations depending on the operating voltage and characteristics of the ram.If ram is not identified with a label showing details about speed, slot position and voltage can be used as an alternative to specific identification. Once grouped, the remaining task is to sort in Meg or Gig sizes. As with most laptop components a close fit is not enough. Modifying components to fit will create problems or may permanently damage the laptop; ram memory is no exception. The different types of laptop ram are identified below.

Types of Laptop Memory

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