How many pins does DDR3 SODIMM have?

1. 204 pins

2. 260 pins

3. 184 pins

4. 288 pins

The correct answer is: 204 pins

DDR3 SODIMM (Double Data Rate 3 Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Module) is a type of random access memory (RAM) commonly used in laptops and other compact computers. It contains a specific number of pins to be able to connect to the motherboard, and depending on the type of DDR3 SODIMM, the number of pins can vary. Option B, 260 pins, is incorrect as it is the number of pins for DDR4 SODIMM, not DDR3 SODIMM. Option C, 184 pins, is incorrect as it is the number of pins for DDR SODIMM, an earlier version of DDR3 SODIMM. Option D, 288 pins, is incorrect as it is the number of pins for DDR4 UDIMM, a type of memory typically used in desktop computers, not DDR3 SODIMM. Thus, option A, 204 pins, is the correct answer for the number of pins in DDR3 SODIMM. It is important to note that the number of pins can also vary depending on the manufacturer and model of the DDR3 SODIMM module, but 204 pins is the standard number for this type
