Not both at the same time. Most motherboards will be able to support both types of RAM but DDR RAM is much better, due to the double data capability it has. Since RAM prices are quite cheap it would be better if you throw out your SD RAM and buy DDR. No you cannot use both ddr ram and sd ram on the same pc. You have to use either or depending on the motherboard. The slots are different. You can determine what type of memory you have by entering setup in the bios when you turn on your pc. DDR Ram has a slot in the very center of the chip that forms to the slot you plug it into. SD ram has a slot on the chip off set the middle. Hope this answers your question.

∙ 14y agoIt depends upon the motherboard, but generally, motherboards only support one type of memory. If you have SDRAM now, chances are that DDR will not work. The DIMM slots for SDRAM and DDR are not the same, so only one kind will fit.

∙ 16y agono, you cannot, unless you switch to a motherboard that supports DDR dram, the spacings are different on the modules and on the motherboard, so it is impossible to use them.

My computer only has 480 of ram how do i get more?
If the motherboard on your computer has some spare slots in it, you can buy RAM from most electronic hardware stores and either pay them to install it or install it yourself. If your motherboard DOESN'T have any spare slots then simply replace the current RAM with higher one. Make sure your purchase RAM compatible with your computer. Most computers today use DDR2 RAM while older computers (such as mine) use DDR RAM.

How is it possible to run two programs at once that require 8 megabytes and 12 megabytes of RAM?
First, if you are using a computer that uses MB, go spend $100 on a used computer and you'll have something that has at least 1GB. As for your question, the amount of ram you have installed in a computer is not the only memory a computer can use. The actual name depends on the OS, but all computers have a section of the hard drive set asside to act as RAM. On a Windows PC it's called a Page File. The advantage is that you can use more ram then your computer has. The disadvantage is that it requires your computer to read, write, and rewrite this section of the drive over and over, which can be hard on the hard drive, and cause it to fail more quickly.
Is ddr computer ram for nokebook computer or we can use in desktop computer?
There is two types. There is DDR notebook RAM and there is DDR desktop ram.
