Memory-DDR/SDRAM?

[mutahir]

Hello all,

i used everest home edition to check system config and for the memory it gives this, why does it says SD RAM when its ddr, a small explanation would be appreciated,

thanks and is this memory good?

SPD Memory Modules:

Samsung M3 68L6423ETM-CCC 512 MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (CL 3.0 @ 200 MHz) (CL 2.5 @ 166 MHz)

Samsung M3 68L6423ETM-CCC 512 MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (CL 3.0 @ 200 MHz) (CL 2.5 @ 166 MHz

Thanks and regards

I couldnt tell you why it would be identifying your memory as sd, instead of DDR.... are you sure it doesnt say SD DDR?

Regarding the quality of your RAM, it is stable... but your CAS is LOW... i'd suggest at the very most for the CAS to be 2.5. You might try setting that in your BIOS, and if your RAM can handle it, you should notice a pretty good performance boost

I have DDR SDRAM as well. SDRAM does not mean Single Data like most people assume it does (coming from a world where DD means Double Data).

SDRAM means Synchronous DRAM

My CAS is 2.0 When you buy good quality ram (or ram specified to run at that level) you can run it that low without any stability problems, and a slight performance gain.
