Claim Text:
1. A dual in-line memory module (DIMM) adaptor card comprising: a first side with a slot connector to removeably couple with a slot of a printed circuit board (PCB), wherein the slot is related to a logical channel of the PCB and the PCB does not have another slot related to the logical channel; and a second side opposite the first side along a first axis, the second side with a first DIMM connector to removeably couple with a first DIMM and a second DIMM connector to removeably couple with a second DIMM, wherein the adaptor card has a t-shaped topology such that the first DIMM connector and the second DIMM connector are separated from one another along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis; wherein the adaptor card has a first distance along the first axis between the first side and the second side of between approximately 60 and approximately 120 thousandths of an inch (mils), and the first side is a second distance of between approximately 2 and approximately 5 millimeters from the PCB along the first axis; wherein the first DIMM and the second DIMM extend from the second side of the adaptor card along the first axis when the first DIMM and the second DIMM are coupled with the first DIMM connector and the second DIMM connector; and wherein the first DIMM or the second DIMM are to perform at least 2600 million transactions per second (MT/s) when coupled with the DIMM adaptor card, and at least 3200 MT/s when coupled directly with the slot of the PCB.
