    PC100 and PC133 are SDRAM. DDR-RAM starts at PC2100 (DDR266).

    You can use programs like Sisoft Sandra or Everest Home Edition to read the SPD off of the ram and find out exactly what you have.

    there is no such thing as ddr sdram, they are two completely different kinds of ram.

    sdr stands for single data rate.

    ddr stands for double data rate.

    double data rate processes twice the rate of single data rate (obviously)

    but, you can get that ram ddr pc2700 at http://www.newegg.com or http://www.tigerdirect.com

    That's exactly the RAM I have in my computer.

    It says the same thing, DDR SDRAM. But jay is right it's just DDR pc 2700. :)

    I've been looking on those websites too for RAM to upgrade, I belive one of them had a nice sale on it too, can't remember if it was Tigerdirect, or newegg, but check them out :).

    I wouldn't get less than a gig if you can afford it. It makes such a huge difference in loading times.

    Actually... SDRAM is an acronym for Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory. All DDR memory is DDR-SDRAM (Double Data Rate SDRAM.) Yes, they are different kinds of memory in that you cannot use DDR in a Regular SDRAM slot. But the SDR in SDRAM does not indicate that it is single data rate.
