Is SDRAM getting obsolete in the near future?
916407
From my own personal experience building and working with computers, I can offer my opinion.\n\nSDRAM sees no more use in new consumer products.  Due to the massive use of DDR 1 and 2, the cost of DDR chips over SDR chips has decreased and made DDR more economical.  SDRAM will fade away completely out of the mainstream market, as soon DDR will when it gets replaced by DDR2.\n\nOf course, this doesn't change the fact that SDRAM still works, and works well.  It's a question of economics.\n\nIf you're thinking you should upgrade your solution, I would say the answer is yes. It doesn't have to be today, or even next month.  But it 2008 rolls around and you're still using the stuff, expect it to get expensive.

It will be in the next few years but personalyl I wouldn't touch it.\n\nSolid state memory is limited to it's life expectancy for read and write operations. It degrades with time and becomes unreliable.\n\nMagnetic memory is now being developed. So far the biggest amount developed is 1/2 MB. It will come though. When magnetic memory becomes mainstream I would recommend making the switch.\n\nUntil then, stay with the proven HD's and ram.\n\nJ

SDRAM is an older type of memory and means Single Data Rate Ram (access is only on 1 edge of a cycle). No more used in new PCs (only until P3).\nDDR(2) is the current type of memory and means Double Data Rate Ram (access is on both edges of a cycle).\nThe purpose of the memory is to store the application program (read from the hard disk) from where it will be executed by the CPU. You have to select that type of memory the manufacturer suggest. Only the amount is your decision, best bet for a laptop nowadays is 2 x 512MB.

SATA here and a fairly fast motherboard with 2GB Ram, still takes a lot loner than 10 seconds before it is "ready to work".\n\nIf it was with Linux or some other less bloated software than windows then yes, it may very well be practical.

SDRAM (single data rate, older)\nDDR (double data rate)\nDDR2 (double data rate with enhanced clock frequencies)

Speed and type of RAM used is dependent on the chipset used to make the mainboard. \n\nIn your case, the answer is "no way". DDR2 didn't exist back then except in a lab.

I don't think you should require such a low capacity SD card these days. Due to the recent advancement in tech and booming computer business in India i expect you can get a decent Simmtronics RAM chip for as low as 400 bucks. You may also go in for a second hand chip from Simmtronics as these have life time warranty (if original hologram is not destroyed)and someone or the other might be upgrading their machines these days. Cheers!

The RAM modules' speed must at least match the memory controller on the motherboard. You can always use faster RAM modules than required, but not slower.

Memory is HARDWARE, not software.  \n\nAll you have to do is buy the right kind of memory and stick it in.   A caveman could do it. \n\n(no offense)

SDRAM stands for Synchronous Data Random Access Memory. It synchronises to the pc bus speed. DDR SDRAM is Double Data RAte Synchronous Data Random Access Memory. Theres no DDRAM. DDR SDRAM can be accessed by the system on both the upside & downside of a clock cycle. Standard SDRAM can only be accessed on the upside of a clock cycle. The 2 types of RAM are not compatible, your system will use one or the other. Of course theres now DDR2 memory. Not sure whats different about it, I beleive its just faster. A good resource for PC terminology is www.webopedia.com.

a few systems will not allow you to use faster RAM\nalso ram will only operate at the slowest of Ram or BUSS speed

sd ram is an older style ram with 2 notches ddr has1 notch \nso it wont fit into the slot i could tell you all the other internal differences but it would tak an hour and boor both of us

the problem is not if it's ecc or not (mostly it isn't), the problem is that you cannot replace pc100 sdram memory by pc133 because it's incompatible in most cases.\n\nbtw, the characteristics of ecc memory modules is that it has a multiple of 9 chips on it (9, 18 or 36), other than non ecc that has a multiple of 8 chips on it (8, 16 or 32, sometimes only 4).

DDR(Double Data Rate)ram. or sometimes called PC 2100/2700/3200\nBoards a couple years old used SDRAM or Rambus Ram

because the manufacturing process is expensive, and wasn't too much of a demand for them. at first, they were somewhat promising because the system bus needed larger bandwidth for the new P4 processors. so Intel and Rambus teamed up, but the Caminogate case (i820's faulty memory translator - anyone remember ?) and the advent of DDR SDRAM (high density and relatively cheap) practically killed Rambus technology. (it had 16 bit data bus, but very high clock for that time)
