  Introduction to DDR SDRAM
Released earlier this year, DDR appears to be fulfilling most of its developers promises as far as the speed to cost ratio.
DDR derives its name from its functional characteristic of using the rising and falling edge of the memory bus clock for timing.
DDR, like SDRAM, has inherent Latencies (or wait cycles) when the processor is not reading or writing data to the memory bus.
