Ddr Sdram Vs Dram

[mattkon]

Hey I have a motherboard that says it will support "unregistered non-ECC DDR 400/333/266 DRAM up to 4GB". I am wondering can I use sdram memory for this board? And what if it IS registered?

I think they are simply toting some pluses here, but I don't want to take the chance of buying something and it not working.

The manufactor is in Japan (hint: when buying a product like this make sure they have toll free number), so I can't call them, and the store from which I purchased the item is withholding any techincal type comments (jerks).

Thanks ahead of time for your help!

Yes, looks like it was a typo...

DDR-SDRAM is a type of SDRAM. However, if you are meaning PC-33/66/100/133 standard SDRAM, then no, you cannot use it with that board.

And what if it IS registered?

Can't use it.

I think he was confused about the 'DDR DRAM', and was asking if 'DDR SDRAM' would work.

Ahh... Well, same response... DDR implies SDRAM.

if it is PC2100, or PC2700 or PC3200, yes, if it is PC66, PC100, PC133, then no.
