Those two locking levers at the sides do help seat the memory in place if you know how to use them. |
|

[neelandan] true, but those things aren't nearly as good at making the job easy as a zif or similar socket setup would be. |
|
| |
As many things as possible should use ZIFs. Also, why have actual SIMMs and DIMMs at all? It just wastes resources. The chips are surely all that are really necessary. A single lever for all the RAM chips, of course. |

Memory has only recently become cheap. Why make it expensive again? |
|
| |
[Wagster] it's a tradition thing... |

Not that this helps you, but SODIMM cards have a very nice seating mechanism. See if someone will let you fiddle with their laptop... I think some of the incredibly small motherboards use SODIMMs also. |
|
| |
Oh yeah... you can use (gently) a rubber mallet, a rubber handled screwdriver, or an eraser and anything hard. |
|
| |
Are SODIMMs the ones that are hinged, kind of? |
|
| |
I have used SODIMMs, and they are great, but I mostly deal with SIMMs and DIMMs. I often wonder why they don't make them in a more compact shape as well. |

None of my computers have enough room in them to swing a mallet, but I will try an eraser. Thanks. |
