  SDRAM vs DDR RAM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
DDR RAM can pass the data at approximately double the speed of SD RAM and the simple formula of performance is “more fast data transfer, better will be the performance”.
This double speed of DDR RAM is due to its property of transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal.
SD RAM and DDR RAM are not interchangeable.

 DDR RAM SDRAM computer memory
DDR ram uses latest technology to deliver a memory chip with performance to suit the newest CPUs with multi gigahertz clock speeds.
DDR RAM, double data rate, can send data on both the rise and fall of the clock which has doubled its speed from SDRAM.
DDR RAM SDRAM memory modules have 184 pins and memory chips either on a single side or both sides of the circuit board, depending on the memory capacity of the module.

 Ars Technica: RAM Guide: Part III: DDR DRAM and RAMBUS - Page 1 - (8/2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
DDR DRAM is basically just a more advanced flavor of SDRAM, with an added twist at the data pins.
So DDR can transfer two data words per clock cycle, as opposed to SDRAM's one word per clock cycle, effectively doubling the speed at which it can be read from or written to under optimal circumstances.
Since DDR DRAM is an evolution of SDRAM, its overall approach to providing memory bandwidth is pretty much the same, aside from the fact that it transfers two words of data per clock.

 DDR RAM
DDR RAM achieves its double data rate even though the internal RAM core operates at only the 133 MHz clock rate.
Effectively, if a DDR RAM chip produces 8 data bits for every cycle of the 266 MHz clock, then it is internally producing 16 data bits for every cycle of the 133 MHz clock, but delivering on demand only 8 bits at a time to the I/O data pins.
DDR RAM executes commands, which are usually issued by the chipset.

 DDR MEMORY RAM, DDR PC2100, PC2700, PC3200, PC4200. DDR Memory review
DDR memory, or Double Data Rate memory, is a new high performance type of memory that runs at twice the speed of normal SDRAM.
With DDR memory now in the affordable price range, and motherboard manufacturers phasing out SDRAM on nearly every new board, it looks like DDR is definitely here to stay.
DDR memory is the latest in high-performance memory module technological advances.

 How to identify different sizes of computer memory RAM? DDR SDRAM MEMORY
Different RAM manufacturers have developed their own methods of identification, so it is has become difficult to identify the chips without looking up the exact part number on a website that provides the information.
DDR SDRAM uses a new technique to transfer data that effectively doubles its speed.
This kind of RAM is being used on motherboards that run AMD Socket A Athlon and Duron processors, which are physically identical apart form the amount of onboard Level 2 cache they contain, and the bus speed that they run on - 100MHz for the Duron, and 133MHz for the Athlon.

 Mikhailtech - Micron 256mb DDR RAM Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
With the maturation of the DDR chipset, newer memory is becoming more and more efficient and the gains over PC133 are becoming apparent as ever.
DDR transfers data in packages of 8 bits (1 byte), so PC1600 stands for 1.6gb/s transfer rate (100x8x2) and 2100 stands for 2.1gb/s transfer rate (133x8x2).
It's not top notch, but as with most DDR it is nonetheless running at 7.5ns (lower right) which means it should overclock at least a bit.

 Memory (RAM) and its influence on computer performance
At first, technically speaking, the RAM memory does not have any kind of influence on the processor performance of the computer: the RAM memory does not have the power of making the computer processor work faster, that is, the RAM memory does not increase the processing performance of the processor.
However, depending on the amount of RAM memory that your computer has, it is possible that those programs have too many instructions and, consequently, do not "fit" at the same time (or even alone, depending on the program) in the RAM memory.
When we install more RAM memory in the computer, the probability of “running out” of RAM memory and having the necessity to make a change with the hard disk swap file is smaller and, therefore, you notice that the computer is faster than before.

 T h e   D D R Z o n e =>> DDR FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
DDR memory is clocked at the same speed as normal SDRAM (ie 100, 133mhz), The big difference between DDR and SDRAM memory is that DDR can transport double the amount of data it reads by utilizing both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal.
DDR DIMMs currently support memory bus speeds of either 100 or 133MHz, with a faster memory bus speed of 166mhz reviewed by JEDEC and released by many of the leading memory manufacturers early in 2002.
DDR specifies a CL of 2.5 or 2.

 DDR SDRAM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DDR SDRAM or double-data-rate synchronous dynamic random access memory is a type of memory integrated circuit used in computers.
DDR SDRAM DIMMs have 184 pins (as opposed to 168 pins on SDR SDRAM, or, 240 pins on DDR-2), and can be differentiated from SDRAM DIMMs by the number of notches (DDR SDRAM has one, SDR SDRAM has two).
DDR is now replaced by DDR2 SDRAM, which has some modifications to allow higher clock frequency, but operates on the same principle as DDR.

 SDRAM DDR RAM and Rambus DRAM Info
Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM is essentially the same thing as SDR SDRAM, except that it can output data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal.
The standards for DDR SDRAM are known as PC1600 (200MHz data rate and 100 MHz clock) and PC2100 (266MHz data rate and 133MHz clock).
DDR SDRAM will also be beneficial if you tend to have several applications open and busy at once, because the resulting chaos in memory access patterns will result in many more row changes.

 DDR Ram
SD RAM is a burst mode memory that bursts a series of data words at the 66-MHz clock rate following the initial 58-ns random access latency.
DDR RAM allows for data to be fetched on both the rising and falling edges of the clock, thus doubling the effective transfer rate of the clock.
Double-data-rate (DDR) SDRAM could account for half of the memory market's unit shipments after 2002, a majority share that once was the sole claim of Direct Rambus DRAM, according to chip vendors and analysts.

 RAM memory problems: Fix problems with DDR/DDR2 RAM
The processor and the DDR RAM in this case are both actually using the 100MHz FSB speed being used by the motherboard.
If it boots that far, all of the RAM is checked and registers at start-up, but it's very unstable and makes the system freeze most of the time during the boot process.
If the configuration of the RAM you have installed is supported, you should know that some motherboards can be finicky about which slots can accept which types of RAM, and/or be finicky about mixing different types of DDR RAM.

 Review: OCZ Technology PC3200 Revision 2 DDR RAM
Even assuming that your DDR motherboard can actually drive its RAM to 400MHz and beyond - and only motherboards using shiny new chipsets like Via's KT400 are actually likely to be able to without going flaky - there's a twofold problem with actually doing it.
For 333 and 400MHz respectively your RAM performance scores will, of course, be an absolute maximum of 25% and 50% better, because that's the amount by which you've wound up the clock speed.
If you want RAM that's as sure to be able to deal with a given kind of twiddling as is any RAM on the planet, then this stuff looks likely to fit the bill.

 About DDR Memory
This is because DDR RAM transfer data on both the rising and falling edge of the clock whereas SDRAM only transfer data on the rising of the cycle.
One of the first companies to implement the use of DDR RAM was nVIDIA with their line of high performace GeForce 3D video cards.

 SysOpt Forums - DDR RAM
RAM transaction speed is not the end-all for performance, any more than being able to red line an engine at 7500 necessarily makes a lawnmower go faster.
But, as batmeat pointed out, the DDR can transfer data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal, while SDRAM can transfer on _either_ the rising _or_ the falling edge (I want to say it's the rising edge, but I'd have to look at datasheets to be sure).
So the DDR memory subsystem itself runs faster, but the rest of the computer is still at whatever frequency it ran at before.

 Hard drives get even harder | The Register
It is slower than RAM though, and Flash memory also has a limited lifetime, as each cell can only be written to perhaps 10,000 times before failing.
Flash's other problem is that it's good at reads but slow at writes, pointed out Woody Hutsell of Texas Memory Systems, which launched a new low-end DDR RAM-based solid state disk (SSD) at the show.
Hutsell said this is partly because RAM runs hotter so needs more airflow, and partly because the boxes also contain batteries and hard disks, so if the power fails, the contents of the SSD can be automatically backed up.

 Which DDR RAM to buy? different types of DDR RAM, PC2100 PC2700 200MHz
But with DDR RAM installed, the processor's effective data transfer speed would be responsible for creating the bottleneck.
If you purchase PC2700 RAM, the Duron 1.3GHz processor runs on a base FSB of 100MHz, doubled to give an effective data transfer speed of 200MHz, while the RAM runs on a base FSB of 166MHz, which is effectively 333MHz using the DDR technology.
The ECS motherboard supports PC2700 DDR RAM, so if that is installed with the new processor, the effective data transfer rate would be increased from 200MHz to 266MHz, and the bottleneck between the RAM and processor would be reduced from 133Mhz to 66MHz.
