240-pin DIMMs are used in DDR3 memory for desktop computers. DDR3
is the latest generation of memory with an improved architecture
that allows it to transmit data more quickly. 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. Each 240-pin DIMM provides a 64-bit data
path (72-bit for ECC or registered or Fully Buffered modules). (The
Ballistix and Ballistix Tracer high-performance memory do not come
in 72-bit or registered modules.) Standard DDR3 240-pin DIMMs are
currently available in DDR3 PC3-8500 SDRAM. Additional speeds will
be added as the technology becomes available. To use DDR3 memory,
your system motherboard must have 240-pin DIMM slots and a
DDR3-enabled chipset. This is because a DDR3 SDRAM DIMM will not
fit into a standard DDR2 DIMM socket or a DDR DIMM socket. The
number of black components on a 240-pin DIMM can vary, but it
always has 120 pins on the front and 120 pins on the back, for a
total of 240. 240-pin DIMMs are approximately 5.25 inches long and
1.18 inches high, though the heights can vary. While 240-pin DDR3
DIMMS, 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs, 184-pin DDR DIMMs, and 168-pin DIMMs are
approximately the same size, 240-pin DIMMs and 184-pin DIMMs have
only one notch within the row of pins.
