DDR Vs DDR SDRAM
Im looking for memory for a m8
He's looking for 2X 512 DDR SDRAM Is DDR memory the same as DDR SDRAM? His MB manual states DDR but Cpuz says DDR SDRAM is installed Cheers for looking |

They are two names for the same thing.

His MB manual states DDR but Cpuz says DDR SDRAM is installed Cheers for looking SDRAM stands for Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory. Both the single data rate and the double data rate versions are synchronous designs. The term SDRAM by itself is used as a shorthand for the single data rate (original) type. The modifier DDR is meant to remove the uncertainty, and tell you that you are dealing with DDR SDRAM (the double data rate version). SDRAM single data rate - i.e. PC133 DDR or DDR SDRAM double data rate - i.e. DDR266 When shopping, other adjectives are unbuffered or registered, ECC or non-ECC. The most common desktop memory is probably unbuffered non-ECC, but some desktop motherboards do support having unbuffered ECC (adds error detection if the chipset supports it). Registered memory is typically used on servers. Depending on whether you are buying from name brand retailers (Crucial) or the skum of the earth on Ebay, will determine just how careful you have to be when buying product. The user manual for the motherboard should at least make clear the general characteristics to look for. If you can give more details, such as the motherboard make and model, or at least what chipset is used (875P, 440BX, and so on), then someone can give you additional advice. Shopping at Crucial or Kingston takes all the guess work out. Paul |

I suspect it helped quite a few people (including me) lurking on the newsgroup. -ron |
