these were on 80486 to P1 to P2 M.B. we can plug in 2MB to 32MB capacity of RAM on this slot these slots have two sypes first slot has 30 pin and it has no any cut in it we attach NON EDO RAM in it. second slot has 72 pins and it has single cut after cendter we attach EDO RAM in it.
DIMM - these slots are being used in P2 to latest MB we can pluged in from 16 MB to 8 GB RAM there are different types of RAM slots for SD RAM DDR1 DDR2 and DDR3 RAM
a..... in this slot we attach SD RAM. we can identify these slots by its two cut or black color.
B... in this slot we attach DDR1 RAM it has a single cut in the after center. it Has multiple colors support MB 845,850,865 series
