What Is DDR400 PC3200W?
DDR400 PC3200 memory uses double data rate (DDR) technology to transfer data between a computer's processor and its hard drive. Memory-intensive applications such as video games and video-editing applications benefit the most from DDR memory technology.

Features
-
DDR400 PC3200 memory runs on motherboards equipped with a 400 MHz front-side bus. The technology supports a number of desktop processors, including Intel's Pentium 4, Celeron and Core 2 Duo processors, and AMD's Athlon 64 and Opteron processors. Computers equipped with two DDR memory sticks of equal size also operate in dual-channel mode, which further improves memory performance.
Benefits
-
DDR memory features high-density RAM modules located on both sides of the memory stick. Memory manufacturers can place twice as much memory on a single stick of DDR SDRAM when compared with older, single-sided SDRAM technology. DDR400 PC3200 memory also uses 1.8 V of power, a reduction from the 2.5 V used by the older DDR1 memory standard.

History
-
The Joint Electron Devices Engineering Council (JEDEC) introduced the DDR2 memory standard in 2003. It replaced the slower DDR1 standard and includes both DDR400 PC3200 and DDR533 PC4200 SDRAM. JEDEC subsequently announced the DDR3 standard in 2007, which replaced DDR2.
