DDR3 memory provides a reduction in power consumption of 30% compared to DDR2_SDRAMmodules due to DDR3's 1.5 V supply voltage, compared to DDR2's 1.8 V or DDR's 2.5 V.
The difference between the memory of the DDR2 RAM and the DDR3 RAM are the capacity that they can hold the DDR3 RAM is more powerful than the DDR2 RAM.
DDR has a 184-pin DIMM interface and DDR2 has 240. DDR2 runs cooler and has generally slower timings but is a lot faster than DDR in the end. DDR2 is capable of holding more ram on one DIMM.
DDR3 runs at higher clocks and lower voltages due to a more complex 90nm manufacturing process than DDR2 Ram. So therefore, DDR3's main difference in comparison to DDR2 is better power usage and higher clock speeds.
You're computer will require a "DDR2 SDRAM DIMM". DDR2 SDRAM is the type of memory you are after, it is also a DIMM. Most modern memory are all DIMM's (Dual inline memory module), much older ram were SIMMS (single ingline memory module). DIMM refers more to the physical make up of the module (DIMMS have contacts on both sides of the module). So any DDR2 SDRAM that you buy IS a dimm. You may want to look at the wikipedia page about DDR2 SDRAM at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM
There are both the same thing, ddr2 ram, is faster that ddr1 ram but ddr3 ram is more modern and faster
AnswerNo. DDR3 is not backward compatible with DDR2 and DDR. e.g. DDR3 has 1.5V power, DDR2 needs 1.8V and DDR needs 2.5V power. In terms of standard motherboard slots also the notch or the key for different memory modules is at different place for the three type of memory thus preventing any accidental insertion in memory slots which can damage the memory and or the motherboard. More Information:Gateway Tech Support said their Gateway MD7820u Notebook is compatible with both.SODIMM DDR3 might have the same pins as SODIMM DDR2.
6 gigs of ddr2 is probably better, although it depends what it is being used for. ddr3 is faster but the ddr2 obviously stores more info. also, ddr3 should be installed in multiples of 3gb (3,6,9,12,gb) spread out on either 3 or 6 sticks or RAM
RIMM is more expensive and less popular because of how old it is.
depends on the type. DDR2, DDR3? it gets a little more complicated than that. Also, laptop or desktop?
Yes, yes its much better. Games very rarely use more than 512mb graphics memory. Thats right, 2gb cards are a total gimmick.
If the port on your motherboard is an AGP slot then it doesn't matter if you have ddr or ddr2
A dimm slot on a computer motherboard is used to add extended memory or Ram ( random access memory ) all motherboards have a minimum and maximum amount of memory and memory speed which can be used.The more memory in a computer system the greater the performance especially for video rendering and other high end tasks. Computer motherboards have different types of dimm slots which use different types of memory and memory speeds. examples are Sd ram uses 168 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speed 100mhz or 133 mhz Ddr ram uses 184 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speeds of 266 mhz to 400mhz Ddr2 ram uses 240 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speeds of 533 to 1200mhz Ddr 3 ram uses 240 pin motherboard dimm slots of memory speeds of 1333mhz upwards Each motherboard has a notch in the dimm slot so the wrong type of memory can not be installed in the wrong motherboard. Example ddr3 memory will not fit in a ddr2 memory motherboard.when upgrading memory persons should find the required memory type and memory speed from the motherboard manufacturer specifaciations data to ensure full compatibility. The faster the memory speed and the greater the memory amount the faster the computer system
