RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It sits on the mother (Main) board which can be easily recognized. Its a flat piece of paxolin with chips mounted in a row either on both side of the paxolin or only on one side and its about 6 inches in length and 1 - 1.5 inches in height. The base with multiple teeth like contacts (gold color) sits on the base socket (IDE) At both ends of the IDE socket, there is a locking clip and to remove the ram, the clips must be pushed away from the lock position. Most boards have two of these IDE base, some have three or more.
