A technician is tasked with upgrading the memory in a user's laptop. Upon opening the device, the technician notes that the memory modules are significantly smaller than the DIMMs used in desktop computers. Which of the following memory form factors is required for this laptop?
Laptops and other compact devices use Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules (SO-DIMMs) because of their smaller size compared to the standard Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs) found in desktop computers. While VRAM is a type of memory, it is dedicated to video cards and not the main system RAM. ECC RAM is a type of memory that can detect and correct data corruption, but this does not define its physical form factor.
