for other cards, e.g. multimedia, TV card, modem, the PCI slots are available. The trend is towards
PCI Express X1.Slots for memory modules to equip the working memory,
•SD RAM, 168 pin (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). This memory type synchronises itself with the system clock, which controls the processor. This prevents delays when accessing the memory. It works in synchronisation with the external CPU clock.

When installing RIMMs, you must observe certain rules, in order to achieve optimum system performance.
The RIMM slots are divided into two banks:
•Bank 0 (RIMM slots 1 and 2)
•Bank 1 (RIMM slots 3 and 4)
Bank 0 must always be populated first, in order to ensure that RIMMS are installed in RIMM slots 1 and 2. The memory configuration (speed, number of chips, size and density) of the RIMMS installed in Bank 0 and Bank 1 must be identical.
•DDR SDRAM, 184 pin (Double Data Rate Synchronous
Dynamic Random Access Memory). This memory type uses a technology that works with both sides (flanks) of a clock pulse
