CRUCIAL MEMORY and MICRON lead the Way with DDR
What's the big deal? Double data rate (DDR) RAM does exactly what it sounds
like, it doubles the rate of speed at which standard SDRAM can process data.
That means DDR is roughly twice as fast as standard RAM. While DDR SDRAM chips
have been used for some time in graphics cards and game consoles, Crucial Technology
was the first factory-direct source of DDR SDRAM modules for hardware developers.
Now, they have fully qualified PC2100 DDR upgrades available for the general
public. That's big news for those who have been eagerly anticipating the next
generation of memory.
Will it work in my system?
The short answer is probably not — DDR memory modules won't fit in standard
SDRAM DIMM slots, so you can't plug DDR into your current system and make it
twice as fast. In fact, right now only half of the motherboards and systems
will take DDR SDRAM modules. However, if you purchased your computer or laptop
less than a year ago, you stand a good chance of having a computer that uses
DDR memory.
There is an easy way to find out what type of memory your computer or laptop
uses.
Just use the DDR
Memory Selector above. It will tell you what memory is used in your
system even if it's not DDR memory.
How do I order? It's easy! If you have a DDR compatible system, simply select
your manufacturer and model into Crucial's DDR
Memory Selector™, and we'll find the DDR that's guaranteed to be compatible
with your system or your money back. For a list of all available DDR modules,
you can use the Advanced Search feature on Crucial's home page.
