DDR Introduction

Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Date Rate) memory is
a high performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors,
OEMs and system integrators.
DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry
that builds on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome
advances in solving the system performance bottleneck by doubling the
memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and
migration path from existing SDRAM designs due to its availability,
pricing and overall market support. PC1600 DDR memory (DDR200)
doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and
falling edge of the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than
PC100 when running with the same DRAM clock frequency. With peak
bandwidth of 1.6GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs
to build high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are
suitable for servers, workstations, high-end PC's and value desktop
SMA systems. With a core voltage of only 2.5 Volts compared to
conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution
for small form factor desktops and notebook applications.

1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into
the DIMM slot. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the
DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish
to remove the DIMM module.
