Computer components (RAM, sound card, video card, etc.) are connected via special interfaces - slots. These are connectors for expanding PC capabilities. They can also be called expansion cards or adapters.
What are these RAM slots?
As you already understood, we are talking about the connectors to which the PC RAM is connected. Typically, the motherboard has at least two such slots. This is a mandatory element on any board, without which the system as a whole is impossible.

In the modern concept, the word "slot" usually means the RAM strip, and not the connector for its connection. Therefore, when they say "memory slot", they often mean the RAM bar. This is also worth considering, because many people can be misunderstood. Although in fact it is a connector, and its purpose can be to connect any device.
