what's the diff between DDR and SDRAM?

DDR RAM (in theory) is a specification of "Random Access Memory" that runs much faster than average and SD RAM. In effect, it doubles your RAM speed. New technologies such as DDR2 RAM improve even further on this technology.

I'd recommend upgrading to 512 MB DDR RAM. Have you got FireWire [IEEE 1394, iLink]? TFT monitor? What's the speed of your DVD ROM? Mmmm...I'd go for a 120,180-200GB HDD. What controllers? RAID, SCSI??

my my esc gave me trouble eve since i got it and it had a 1.2ghz althon thunderbird on it.

get more ram do it do it. Never mix ddr and sdr lol.

[amphoteric88]

basically, you want at least 512 meg of ddr 2700 ram
although, with the 2400, the fsb is only 266MHz, i think, so you don't need 333mhz ram, you only need 266mhz

yeah, you can't mix ddr and sdram
the board will only supprt one kind anyway

[Wolfmight]

so would i have to take out all my sdram and start useing the ddr?

[amphoteric88]

you can only use one or the other
it's up to you, ddr is faster, but expensive

Q: My motherboard supports DDR and SDRAM memory modules. Can I mix the two types together?
A: No, DDR (Double Data Rate) and the older SDR (Single Data Rate) SDRAM are not compatible with one another. If your motherboard have DIMM sockets for both types, you must choose to go with one or the other

Its cool though. Just lose the sdr. The ddr works basically twice as well anyway. And ram is pretty cheap.
