DDR2 Memory is currently the fastest Memory available. This new memory technology has a system architecture that goes beyond standard DDR specification, which allows it to take advantage of ever-increasing processor speeds.
DDR2 is different from earlier memory technologies in that it:
- Helps maximize CPU performance.
- Can operate at fast data rates, such as 400MHz, 533MHz, 667MHz, and beyond!
- Expertly handles memory-intensive applications used on today''s faster, feature-packed systems.
- Has a low operating voltage and temperature, which can improve the performance of your computer.
DDR2 memory modules have a different number of pins than standard DDR modules and their notches are in different places. Therefore, the two types of memory cannot be used interchangeably in the same memory socket. And while some motherboards do have memory slots for both DDR and DDR2, most systems will only accept one type of memory technology. To upgrade with DDR2, your system must be designed to accept DDR2 memory technology.
