RAM module

Computer memory card

A RAM module is a removable circuit board containing memory chips that plugs into a computer's motherboard.

RAM (random-access memory) provides temporary storage for data the processor needs quickly.

Modules come in standardized formats—DIMM for desktops, SO-DIMM for laptops—and are typically sold in matched pairs: I upgraded my laptop with two 16-gigabyte RAM modules.
