DDR Introduction
Established on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, DDR (Double Data 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 great evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing
SDRAM architecture, yet make the awesome advances in solving the system performance
bottleneck by doubling the memory bandwidth. Nowadays, with the highest bandwidth of
3.2GB/s of DDR400 memory and complete line of DDR400/333/266/200 memory solutions, DDR
memory is the best choice for building high performance and low latency DRAM subsystem that
are suitable for servers, workstations, and full range of desktop PCs.
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.
