DDR runs twice as fast as regular SDRAM, has one notch, and uses 184 pins. Instead of processing data for each beat of the system clock, as regular SDRAM does, it processes data when the beat rises and again when it falls, doubling the data rate of memory

What are the Major part of computer?

The major parts of a computer would probably be the screen, the keyboard and the battery and all the wires and things to make it work. But I'm no mechanic so if you need this information urgently, maybe you should see an actual mechanic or a computer expert or something because I maybe totally wrong!!!


Will PC2-5300s-555-12-e3 DDR2 memory interchange with pc2-5300u-555-12-e3?

I don't think they will. One may be for laptops and the other for desktops. You will have to check the pins, since the 240-pin package is for desktops and the 200-pin package is for laptops. When you choose memory, you need to make sure that it is the correct type (plain SDRAM, DDR, DDR 2, DDR 3), the correct number of pins (since laptop and desktop memory are different), and a compatible speed (you can usually use faster than required, though you might have to mess in CMOS). Most of the time, you'd use unbuffered, non-ECC memory.


Which substance is recently being used to make chip?

Silicon, its cheap and nearly ideal. Many other things have been tried, but none has really seen widespread use due to one or more difficulties that occurred. Gallium Arsenide is expensive and has mostly been limited to use in high priced supercomputers where the speed improvement justifies the cost. Diamond & graphenes & carbon nanotubes all still have process problems. Silicon-Germanium alloy has seen some use, but not so much in digital devices.

What improvements did DDR make over regular SDRAM?

It reads 2 clock cycles It reads 2 clock cycles, so it runs twice as fast as regular SDRAM. Instead of processing with every beat, it processes at the top and bottom of each beat, thus increasing the speed by 2Xs.


How do you replace sdram into ddr?

In order to upgrade SDRAM with DDR, you will need to replace your motherboard. DDR uses a different slot than SDRAM, so if your motherboard is using SDRAM currently, you will most likely have to replace your motherboard in order to make your system support DDR.

What is the difference between SDRAM and DIMM because I want to buy a new computer and it says it takes DDR2 SDRAM but when i search he net i find DIMMs. Will the DIMM work?

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


What is the difference between SDRAM PC133 and PC133 SDRAM module and what sort of RAM suitable for Gateway computer?

If the label on one RAM chip says "PC133 SDRAM" and the label on another chip says "SDRAM PC133", they are the same thing. There is no different between them. If you want to put more RAM in your computer you first want to check and make sure you have the extra slots necessary. You usually want to get the same kind of RAM that is already in there. So if the existing RAM is PC133, you want to get more PC133 RAM.
