Shopping For DDR Memory

There are a few tips that will help you make sure that you're getting just the right kind of DDR memory for your computer. There are many different makers and types of computer memory modules and many of these modules are made from the very same memory chips. This is why name brand DDR memory modules are not usually any better than generic or off name DDR memory modules.

Be certain that you are getting DDR memory with the correct pin count. This is one of the most critical elements to get right when shopping for some new DDR memory, yet many people get it wrong because they confuse types of DDR memory. For example, DDR and DDR2 are not interchangeable. In desktop personal computers, DDR will have 182 pins and DDR2 will have 240 pins.

DDR memory typically must be installed in groups of two to be effective. Fro example, a computer system will not operate with one or three DDR memory modules, but requires either two or four DDR memory models in order to function properly.

Be sure not to get taken when it comes to shipping rates for computer memory. The internet is the best place to shop for computer memory, but be sure to investigate a prospective seller's feedback and customer service rating before committing to a purchase. Remember, DDR memory is very tiny and while it should be packed well, it shouldn't weight more than a few ounces and as such, shipping should never be more then $5-$9.
