Is my RAM DDR 1 or DDR 2? [more info inside]

Hi guyz,

Update: I found that RAM is DDR 1. So which brand/company should I buy?(
Click here for that post)

I cannot figure out if my existing RAM is DDR 1 or DDR 2. All I find is a label on the RAM that reads:

Code:

MDGBL4F3G38AODICO2
DDR 333(2.5)   256Mx8
S/N: 510TH(BLBDB1808)

[1] So it that DDR 1 or 2?
[2] If its DDR 1, can I get DDR 2 or vice-versa?
[3] Whats the approximate cost of DDR 1 and 2 of 256 and 512 MB in Thane(near Mumbai)

System config:

Code:

2.4 GHz Intel P4
256 MB RAM
80 GB HDD

Thank you

Hi ,
Try using CPUz
www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
i am sure it will show the correct result.

[1] most likely , ddr1. try cpuz.
[2] nope.
[3] 512mb ddr1 may cost about 900 bucks

Thanks Malik and Sagar,
Here is the CPU-Z report. I think its DDR 1.

[1] You have a DDR1 ram.
[2] Nope, a motherboard can support either DDR1 or 2, not both.
[3] Dunno, sorry.

1.definitely ddr1
2.no..
3.512 mb would cost 1000 bucks and 256 mb isnt available i think.if it is it might cost 500-600 bucks

Thanks Dheeraj and Nish. I will get one tomorrow probably

333mhz is ddr1. Always.

DDR2 starts at 400MHz. So this HAS to be only DDR1.

Thanks Pathik and Metal

.....M getting one tomorrow.....will post in the 'What you bought' thread tomorrow

Off Topic

Just asking whats the full config bro ? and being a Linux user would u really need more ram by investing in an obsulate technology ??

Pathik, BTW.

AFAIK, 400 or less than 400 MHz is always DDR1

Ok, I had just been to the store here and he quoted me Rs. 800 for 512 MB and Rs. 1650 for 1 GB of Transcend. Is the price correct? Should I buy it?

Another store quoted almost similar price for Dynate(or is it Dynet?) RAM. I had heard that Dynate RAMS are to be avoided.

So should I buy Transcend?

Thanks for your patience guyz.

333Mhz is ddr mate.2.5 is the latency. ie pc2700 go for hynix man ... they are the best...
