From the Manufacturer
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM memory is an evolutionary product built upon the foundation of older PC100/PC133 memory technology. Unlike SDRAM memory that supports one operation per the computer's clock cycle, DDR SDRAM memory can do two operations per clock cycle, thereby doubling the memory bandwidth over the corresponding single-data-rate SDRAM.

Kingston Technology Company is an active me MBer of JEDEC, the computer industry's standards body which developed and finalized the specifications for the DDR SDRAM modules. Kingston's Director of Technology sits on the Board of Directors of JEDEC, and Kingston's engineers actively participate in the memory technology subcommittees working on current- and next- generation memory products. Kingston's DDR development efforts closely involve leading semiconductor, processor, chipset and motherboard manufacturers as well as PC OEMs.

As a result of its aggressive product development efforts, Kingston was the module industry's first-to-market with a complete line of PC1600 DDR memory modules in 2000. Then, in 2001, Kingston was first-to-market with the newest PC2100 DDR DIMMs and PC1600/2100 DDR SO-DIMMs for OEM customers for future DDR notebooks and communications products; Kingston ended 2001 by shipping PC2700 DDR DIMMs to the system builders preparing to launch 333 MHz DDR platforms in 2002. Kingston launched 400 MHz PC3200 DDR modules in November 2002 for the gaming and enthusiast markets.

Along with JEDEC and other partners, Kingston's engineers are actively working on future DDR memory products.

DDR - The New Mainstream Memory Technology
DDR memory has been selected by the computer industry to be the mainstream memory technology for 2002 onward. DDR memory will be used in many different platforms, including desktop PCs, servers, notebooks, compact- and sub-compact computers, and networking/communications platforms.

DDR memory was selected because of its increased performance as well as its low-cost premium over SDRAM, since DDR can easily be manufactured by existing semiconductor fabrication plants and can be built and tested without significant capital investments. DDR memory delivers increased memory bandwidth and performance over SDRAM memory for many business, multimedia, and entertainment applications. In the second half of 2002, DDR memory represented over 50% of the memory market.

Customer Reviews

Works for me!
I have a Dell Dimension 2400 2.4 Mhz which came with 256 MB. I had previously upgraded to 512 MB but I use two memory-intensive stock market applications and -- together with sharing RAM for the built-in display adapter -- it ran a little slow at times. The new pair of 512 MB Dimms came 5 days after ordering, went right in the two Dimm slots, fired up without incident, and made everything run much faster.

I'm Impressed
I bought this RAM for a PIV 1.8GHZ Dell 4400. The mobo only supports PC2100 speed. However, RAM may be backwards compatible, like in this case. It sometimes even costs less to buy faster RAM for an older computer. This is b/c it just so happens that this is what a manufacturer is optimized to produce. I used to buy alot of Samsung RAM for work b/c I know they are highly compatible and run well... pay more for guarantee of less downtime/conflicts. However, I wanted to try this for home use on my guest PC. I'm impressed that the RAM works so well, no lock ups and I noticed improvement. The price speaks for itself.

Great memory with no complications
It's been a few months since I've installed this product into my PC and the results have been Fantastic! Along with this order i also bought an nVidia GeForce5500 (256mb) card and with the speed of the Kingston512+anotherKingston256(I ordered the latter a few months earlier),I am more than satisfied. Games load and play well beyond what I expected. Absolutely no CRASHES,No Compatability conflicts, No memory Leakage( which tends to happen with BARGAIN PRICED Memory(So BEWARE OF OTHER LOW-PRICED MODULES,YOU'LL IN FOR A REAL HEARTBREAK IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFULL).Kingston's brand of memory is not only reasonably priced for the average Budget-Conscience Consumer,it also deliver's.Don't get confused by reading some of the HOGWASH reviews on this page by those who whine about this product, some consumers just will not be happy with a product unless it has the power to turn WATER INTO WINE! Go with Kingston,you won't be sorry.Take it from someone who works with creating (videogame graphics).The cost won't break you and the quality is just right.Looking forward to purchasing another 512 to replace the 256 so my machine will be 1/2 the way there as far as Max. Memory Capacity. Thank's Kingston---Darvius7
