Double Data Rate is a memory standard that enables RAM chips to transmit output twice in every cycle of the system clock. The DDR standard was superseded in 2003 by DDR2, a memory standard offering ...

— -- Samsung Electronics, the world's largest memory chip maker, said this week that the global shift to a speedier computer memory chip, DDR2 (double data rate, second generation), is ...

DDR2 memory has been the mainstream over the last 3 years. Intel first brought DDR2 into the market when it launched its 9xx series of Express chipsets. These saw DDR2 hitting only 533MHz; originally ...

Elpida Memory, Inc. (Elpida), Japan's leading global supplier of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), today announced the industry's first 256 Megabit DDR2 SDRAM devices that achieve 800 Megabits per ...

There is talk that DDR2 memory is nearing the end of its life, and while this could be true to a certain extent, I believe it to be more of the opposite. While DDR3 is on the horizon and will take ...

High performance DDR2 SDRAM is an increasingly common memory solution for designs requiring improved data bandwidth capabilities, lower power, and enhanced signaling features. However, the benefits of ...

Since its launch in January 2006, the only thing that has been publicly known about former AMD CTO Fred Weber's new venture is its name: MetaRAM. Clearly, the stealth-mode company was working on ...

Well, it's now official; AMD has finally started to embrace DDR3 memory and it's about time. Intel has already got eight chipsets out that support DDR3 memory and the Core i7 is devoted solely to DDR3 ...

When it comes to PC components, newer is almost always better. But unlike processors or video cards, new PC memory technologies don't come along very often. Also known as random access memory or RAM ...

I bought a new PC, and all the parts arrived today! Awesome! Except the RAM. It hasn't even shipped yet and won't be here until Monday. In the meantime, would it be possible/advisable to use my old ...

The Reaper modules feature the new "heat piped conduit" (HPC) design that duct the heat away from the side heatspreaders up into the case airflow stream. But removing the heat from the main body of ...
