DDR Introduction
Established on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high
performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs, and
system integrators.
DDR memory is a great evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing
SDRAM architecture, yet make the awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck
by doubling the memory bandwidth. Nowadays, with the highest bandwidth of 3.2GB/s of DDR400
memory and complete line of DDR400/333/266/200 memory solutions, DDR memory is the best
choice for building high performance and low latency DRAM subsystem that are suitable for servers,
workstations, and full range of desktop PCs.
1. The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory
module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM
socket. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets
to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove
the DIMM module.
