A memory slot, memory socket, or RAM slot is what allows RAM (computer memory) to be inserted into the computer. Most motherboards have two to four memory slots, which determine the type of RAM used with the computer. The most common types of RAM are SDRAM and DDR for desktop computers and SODIMM for laptop computers, each having various types and speeds. The picture below is an example of what memory slots may look like inside a desktop computer. In this picture, there are three open and available slots for three memory sticks.
When buying a new computer or motherboard, pay close attention to the types of RAM the memory slots can accept. Make sure you know exactly type of RAM to buy for your computer. It is also important to note how many available memory slots are available in your computer. It is not uncommon for computers to have all memory slots occupied. If all slots are full and you want to upgrade the computer memory, you need to remove some or all of the existing memory.
I don't recall how much memory it had, but as a repair tech I was having an argument with the owner over it. The system kept getting memory errors with all 16 slots filled but worked fine with only 8. All the memory tested clean. Took me forever to finally agree to allow me to swap 8 higher capacities SIMMs for the 16 lower capacity SIMMs. The slots machine, often known as the “one armed bandit”, became an icon of modern online gaming. At Slotomania, mainboard 8 ram slots you can start playing your favorite slot games with crazy graphics, top of the line sound effects, and hundreds of variations to choose from. I recently purchased this motherboard to match an FX-8320 CPU and 8GB of Corsair Vengeance Ram. Processor installation was easy and the motherboard color is great, I really like the red and black. The I/O shield has some padding on it and it made it a bit easier to apply some pressure so the I/O and mother board matched up with a snug fit.
