For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory ) synchronous DRAM Synchronous DRAM - Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. ) memory module upgrades.

Clearly, Crucial's customers want DDR SDRAM, and our factory-direct model allows us to sell this new PC2100 DDR SDRAM at prices that make it accessible to anyone who wants it." "Micron is working closely with the major original equipment manufacturers to provide PC2100 DDR SDRAMs that are fully compatible with their systems," said Jeff Mailloux, Micron's Director of Marketing, Computing and Consumer Group. "Now that DDR SDRAM chipsets are becoming more widely available for a variety of processors, we expect DDR SDRAM usage to increase rapidly in both desktops and servers, with additional applications following shortly thereafter. Because DDR SDRAM is an evolutionary technology based on SDRAM, we also anticipate that DDR SDRAM will continue to move toward price parity with SDRAM."
