Adapter card with compression attached memory modules

A system comprising:

• a motherboard including a first dual-inline memory module (DIMM) connector;
• and
• a printed circuit board (PCB) having an edge to be received by the DIMM connector, the PCB including:
• first conductive contacts to couple with contacts of the DIMM connector,
• second conductive contacts on a first face of the PCB, and
• third conductive contacts on a second face of the PCB,
• first conductive traces between the first conductive contacts and the second conductive contacts, and
• second conductive traces between the first conductive contacts and the third conductive contacts;
• a first compression attached memory module (CAMM) compressibly attached to the first face of the PCB via first compressible conductive contacts between the second conductive contacts on the first face of the PCB and third fourth conductive contacts of the first CAMM;
• and
• a second CAM compressibly attached to the second face of the PCB via second compressible conductive contacts between the third conductive contacts on the second face of the PCB and fifth conductive contacts of the second CAMM.

An apparatus comprising:

• a printed circuit board (PCB) having an edge to be received by a dual-inline memory module (DIMM) connector;
• first conductive contacts proximate to the edge of the PCB to be received by the DIMM connector, the first conductive contacts to couple with contacts of the DIMM connector;
• second conductive contacts on a first face of the PCB to couple with a first compression attached memory module (CAMM) via a first compression mount technology (CMT) connector;
• third conductive contacts on a second face of the PCB to couple with a second CAMM via a second CMT connector;
• first conductive traces between the first conductive contacts and the second conductive contacts;
• and
• second conductive traces between the first conductive contacts and the third conductive contacts.
