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.
