Answer 2

right now its ddr/ddr2. sdram has gone the way of the dodo,though it is still availible,. sdram/ddr/ddr2 all allow you to install a single module without having to use a bridge or install in pair like the rdram required. rdram also didnt deliver much better performance,only bout 5% boost,but costing approx 2-3 times as much.

Answer 3

GO WITH DDR2!
DDR (double-data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory) is still used, but it is almost no longer produced. The replacement is DDR-2. SD-RAM (synchronous dynamic) is almost ten years old. This is obsolete. RD-RAM (Rambus Dynamic), which was around for a while, is also no longer used. It was a good technology, but expensive and the new motherboard architectures are able to speed up data transfer using the existing DDR/DDR2 RAM, which was the main benefit of the RD-RAM.

DDR2 will be replaced soon too. Its the way money id made in the PC industry.

Answer 4

This is like asking which is used more: Ford, GM, or Chevrolet.

SDRAM is the most commonly used, and DDR is a catagory of memory, not a type. The type of memory used depends solely on the type required by the motherboard. rdram is definitely the rarer and more expensive. If you're looking to custom-build a computer, the cheapest and most accessable would be sdram.

Hope that helps,

Answer 5

ddr is the most commonly used but it is fast being replaced by ddr2. Most new systems are shipping with ddr2. rdram is no longer used and sdram is even older than rdram.

Answer 6

The current memory is called DDR memory, the others are the old standard memory used on earlier motherboards.

Answer 7

DDR memory (184 pin) is most commonly used today. However, DDR2 memory (240 pin) is quickly becoming a new standard as more motherboards/processors come to support it.

Answer 8

The number of ram plates you can insert depends on how many ram slots you have available on your motherboard. Doesn't matter the size you can add a 512 one and a 1024 one all that does matter it's that they have to be the same type (sdram or ddram) I dont' really know how to find out wich your plates are, but you can borrow a freind's ddram plate and insert it along with yours. If the computer starts with no problems then you got ddram too...if not...and you hear 3 beeps then you got sdram :)

Answer 9

ddr ram is common, ddr2 is replacing ddr and ddr3 is coming out so i would wait but the computers will not be compatible with the new ram anyway and if you are looking to buy ram, make sure you know what type your computer is supporting.

Answer 10

depends on the machine, but i would have to say ddr2
