Step 3: Install Expansion Cards - Gigabyte GA-8S661FXM User Manual

DDR Introduction
Established on the ex isting SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data R ate) memory is a
high performance and cos t-effec tiv e s olution that allow s easy adoption for mem ory v endors, OEMs
and sy stem integrators.
DDR memory is a sensible ev olutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the ex isting
SDRAM infrastruc ture, y et makes aw es ome adv ances in solv ing the sy s tem performance bottleneck
by doubling the memory bandw idth. DDR SDR AM w ill offer a superior solution and migration path from
ex isting SDRAM designs due to its av ailability , pricing and ov erall market support. PC2100 DDR
memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through reading and w riting at both the rising and falling edge
of the clock, achiev ing data bandw idth 2X greater than PC 133 w hen running w ith the same DRAM
clock frequency . With peak bandw idth of 3.2GB per second, DDR memory enables sy stem OEMs to
build high performance and low latency DRAM subsy s tems that are suitable for serv ers, w orkstations,
high-end PC's and v alue desktop SMA sy s tems.
