DDR Not Showing?

[MikeW]

I recently had a couple of upgrades put on my computer....not by me, I'm
only a novice. The upgrades are as follows,

1. AMD Athlon 1700 XP, upgraded to, AMD Athlon 2400 XP
2. 512 meg sdram, upgraded to, 512 DDR

Question.
When I go to System Properties it shows that the CPU has been upgraded
from 1700 to 2400 but it shows 512 MB of RAM, not 512 DDR as I would
have expected. Is this correct or have I been "ripped off"?

Any help would be appreciated

It might be correct. You need to use a more sophisticated program to
determine the RAM type, as it will not show up in the system properties.

Personally, I recommend you try everest home edtition, it's free for
personal use, go to: http://www.lavalys.com

Hope this helps.

Does your motherboard support DDR?

I would think that if the motherboard didn't support DDR memory then it
wouldn't boot.

Hi Zoltan,

Did what you said and downloaded Everest Home Edition. Brilliant
program. It did in fact show that I have 512 DDR memory. Many thanks for
your help.
