Explanation
Correct answer: A) SODIMM.
SODIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) is the most common form factor for RAM used in laptops. It is smaller than the standard DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) used in desktops, making it suitable for compact devices like laptops, where space is limited.
Here’s why the other options are not correct:
-
ECC RAM: ECC (Error-Correcting Code) RAM is a type of memory that detects and corrects data corruption, but it is more commonly used in servers and workstations, not in laptops.
-
DIMM: DIMM is the standard form factor for desktop memory, which is larger than SODIMM and not typically used in laptops.
-
CRIMM: CRIMM (Continuity RIMM) modules were used with older RDRAM systems and are obsolete, not used in modern laptops.
