It means that you have 2 gigabytes of RAM (memory) in your computer and that is a good thing. 2 Dimms just means that your 2 GB of RAM is made up of 2 modules of RAM that have been installed in your computer.
DDR2 is Double Data Rate version 2. This means that the RAM will run twice as fast as the Front side Bus on your motherboard, but the newer version runs faster than just plain old DDR.

In simple terms: DDR2 means Double Data Rate (2nd generation) memory transfer. All the new memory and motherboards support this standard as opposed to the old DDR1. DDR2 has generally faster clocked MHz (in this case it's 533MHz) than DDR1 (most only run at 400MHz standard) but real world speed difference isn't that much better. The "shared" memory refers to the amount of memory shared by your onboard video and your system. It's a bad thing actually. If you share memory then it will reduce the performance since if it being used by your built-in video card, then it is taking some away from the rest of your system. If you add in a real video card, then you will not have to worry about this since real video cards (examples: Radeon or GeForce) have their own memory which is not "shared" with your system. A DIMM is a Dual Inline Memory Module. All this really means is that you have two sticks of memory. Dual Channel helps increase the performance of your memory transfer by using two identical sticks of memory together for faster transfer speed. Normally with one stick it will run at 64-bit transfer. With 2 sticks it will run at 128-bit transfer so this is a good thing.

DDR2 (Double-Data Rate) stands for your memory type, DDR2 Memory cards can only be inserted in DDR2 compatible motherboards, DDR is just one of the types of RAM there are also SD & RD RAM, to put it simply, DDR2 ranges it speeds from 533-upwards while DDR is from 400-below.
DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) stands for the circuit boards that holds the memory, (2 DIMM) means you have two slots in which you can insert your memory chips.
I hope that answers your question =)

It means 2 sticks (or modules) of 1Gb ddr2 RAM. Others write it as 2 x 1Gb ddr2. That should be more than enough for XP and just about right for Vista.

it's 2 gigs of RAM. It's DDR 2 which is good. You need to buy what your pc can accept though. You can't mix DDR & DDR2. Plus you must match the # of pins in it as well.

It's two 1GB memory DIMMs for a total of 2GB.

You have 2 sticks of 1GB DDR 2 RAM.

2 Gigabytes of RAM. 2pcs at 1GB each(?)
good, if it's compatible with your motherboard

2GB could be 2 gigabytes
DDR2 could be Dance, Dance Revolution (it's a game)
does that help?
