A technician is upgrading the RAM in a 13-inch ultrabook. The service manual specifies memory slots that accept 260-pin modules measuring roughly half the length of standard desktop modules. Which type of memory module should the technician order to ensure compatibility?
Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SODIMMs) are roughly half the length of standard desktop DIMMs, making them ideal for space-constrained systems such as laptops and small-form-factor PCs. DIMMs are full-size desktop modules, RIMMs were Rambus modules briefly used in some desktops, and SIMMs are older single-inline modules no longer found in modern hardware. Therefore, SODIMM is the correct choice for the ultrabook upgrade.
