I hear that DDR is faster

Dear Martin,

Only put the ddr your computer will support obviously. Yes ddr is
faster. Which ddr though.

Sdram 133 mhz
Ddr 2100 runs at 266 mhz
Ddr 2700 runs at 333 mhz
Ddr 3200 runs at 400 mhz
Ddr 3700 runs at 450 mhz.

If you engage 4 bank interleave in your bios if you can on a mac then
they will run even faster as it splits the data between modules on the
board, well it does on the pc anyway apparently.


With regards to ram I would have though the same with a pc would apply
in that you can use the faster ram i.e ddr 3200 and if your board only
supports ddr 2100 it would default to the slower speed. 

I don't know if you can on a mac but on a pc if you have an un locked
chip with ddr ram you can increase the voltage and the bus speed and get
a 25% increase in performance. Its all dependant on what the maximum
speed of the bus chip can run at. 


Hope that helps.

cheers
