Crucial 1GB PC2700 184 pin DIMM DDR PC Memory

A dual inline memory module DIMM consists of a number of memory components usually black that are attached to a printed circuit board usually green. The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a DIMM are not connected to each other. 184 pin DIMMs are used to provide DDR SDRAM memory for desktop computers. Standard 184 pin DIMMs are available in PC1600 DDR SDRAM, PC2100 DDR SDRAM, PC2700 DDR SDRAM, and PC3200 DDR SDRAM. To use DDR memory, your system motherboard must have 184 pin DIMM slots and a DDR enabled chipset. A DDR SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM DIMM socket. Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in the Crucial Memory Advisor™ tool. The number of black components on a 184 pin DIMM can vary, but it always has 92 pins on the front and 92 pins on the back, for a total of 184. 184 pin DIMMs are approximately 5.25 inches long and 1.25 inches high, though the heights can vary. While 184 pin DIMMs and 168 pin DIMMs are approximately the same size, 184 pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins.
