I have A E-machine computer, that had 512mb DDR ram stick in it. on the front of the case, where it lists the basic components, (type/amount of processor, HD, RAM, DVD Burner, ETC.) for the ram, it says:
512MB
DDR SDRAM

I have a SDR stick of ram, and I was woundering if there is anyway to add that with my existing DDR stick of ram.

SDRAM is Synchronous dynamic random access memory. Normally we just call any kind of PC memory RAM.

The RAM in your PC is DDR, which is Double Data Rate SDRAM, while the other stick you have is Single Data Rate SDRAM

These are not compatible. SDR is 186 pins, while DDR is 184 pins. If you look at the actual RAM, you will see two nochtes in the SDR, and only one in the DDR stick. Your MoBo likely only supports DDR. Some older MoBo's accept both, but I am not sure if you could install both at the same time (I think not...)

Give us some more info about your e-machines, esp. your MoBo, so we can help you better.

Good luck

I doubt you can but the worest that can happen is you get memory error ok so what take out the ram and go back to what you were doing

It will physically not fit in his board, unless he has an older board that supports both (when DDR was new). Don't try to force that SDR in the DDR slot...

yes you can get ddr into a sdram slot and vs versa with enough force.

and no you cant run sdram and ddr at the same time. difrent speeds ect

Whiteboy

Thanks for all the responses.
my MoBo only supports DDR, as some of you said.
would I beable to sell the SDR (128mb) on e-bay? I meen, I know I CAN, but will anyone actually be inturested in it? about how much is it worth?

watertown1978

o nm haha you listed it ... you may be able to get a few bucks for it as long as the shipping is free standard usps i would think. as for price i would say no more than 10.00

Even if ddr and sdr ram fit in the same slots the voltages would be different
