In
computing, a
memory module is a
printed circuit board on which
memory integrated circuits are mounted. Memory modules permit easily installation and replacement in electronic systems, especially computers such as
personal computers,
workstations, and
servers. The first memory modules were proprietary designs that were specific to a model of computer from a specific manufacturer. Later, memory modules were standardized by organizations such as
JEDEC and could be used in any system designed to use them.
