For Those Who Dont Know DDR

This is basicly for those who dont remember what is what

Also DDR Stands For Double Data Rate

The Ez way to figure it what pc ur memery is just do this

lets say ur memery is 200MHz then u would do this

200x8=1600 witch meens u have a stick of pc1600

and so on

heres a chart

DDR200 / 200MHz / PC1600

DDR266 / 266MHz / PC2100

DDR333 / 333MHz / PC2700

DDR370 / 370MHz / PC3000

DDR400 / 400MHz / PC3200

DDR434 / 434MHz / PC3500

DDR466 / 466MHz / PC3700

DDR500 / 500MHz / PC4000



edit--- added missing memery types thx for telling me and for the times 8 thing 2 =D

Or

200MHz = PC-1600 (200x8 = 1600)
266MHz = PC-2100 (266x8 = 2100)
333MHz = PC-2700 (333x8 = 2700)
400MHz = PC-3200 (400x8 = 3200)

etc...

Memory bus is 64-bits wide, 64 bits = 8 bytes, so you multiply by 8
