What is DDR?

Short for Double Data Rate, DDR is memory that was first introduced in 1996 and has since been replaced by DDR2. DDR utilizes both the rising and falling edge of the system clock, potentially doubling the speed of the memory. Today, DDR technology is found on high-end video cards and computer memory such as DDR-SDRAM.

It is an advanced version of SDRAM, a type of computer memory. DDR-SDRAM, sometimes called "SDRAM II," can transfer data twice as fast as regular SDRAM chips. This is because DDR memory can send and receive signals twice per clock cycle. The efficient operation of DDR-SDRAM makes the memory great for notebook computers since it uses up less power.
