Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to tall Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) structural retention are described. In one embodiment, a Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM) retention frame is coupled to a top portion of a tall (e.g., “two unit” or taller) DIMM. A plurality of fasteners physically attach the DIMM retention frame to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The DIMM retention frame reduces movement of the tall DIMM. Other embodiments are also claimed and disclosed.

Abstract: A Land Grid Array (LGA) interface assembly used to physically interface or connect a semiconductor package (e.g., a semiconductor, a microprocessor, etc.) and a PCB, motherboard, etc. The LGA interface assembly including an LGA socket including a plurality of socket pins arranged and configured to contact a plurality of contact pads on the semiconductor package to enable data transfer. The socket pins including a multi-bend and/or zig-zag configuration arranged and configured to minimize lateral displacement of the socket pin relative to the contact pad during insertion of the semiconductor package into the LGA socket. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
