DIMM refers to Dual In-line Memory Module, a memory module that contains Random Access Memory (RAM). It was created to replace SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) because it helps save more space. It is improved from an original 32 bit path to a 64 bit path, which allows it to carry more data. DIMMs are used in personal computers, servers, and workstations. It connects to the motherboard through its connector and a socket on the motherboard. The earlier standard size of DIMM was 1.5-1.7 inches in height, but technology has been used to squeeze DIMMs to the height of 0.72 inches.
