Patent ID: 8199515

Claim:
A Dual In-line Memory Module (‘DIMM’) riser card, the DIMM riser card comprising: a printed circuit board (‘PCB’) having a first edge, a second edge, and one or more faces, the first edge configured for insertion into a main board DIMM socket mounted on a main board, the first edge comprising electrical traces that electrically couple to a memory bus upon insertion into the main board DIMM socket; an angled DIMM socket mounted on one face of the PCB, the angled DIMM socket configured to accept a DIMM at an angle not perpendicular to the PCB and electrically couple the DIMM to the memory bus through the electrical traces of the first edge; and a straddle mount DIMM socket mounted on the second edge of the PCB, the straddle mount DIMM socket configured to accept a DIMM and electrically couple the DIMM to the memory bus through the electrical traces on the first edge of the PCB.
