Is my RAM DDR3 or DDR4?

Check RAM Type Open Task Manager and go to the Performance tab. Select memory from the column on the left, and look at the very top right. It will tell you how much RAM you have and what type it is. You cannot change DDR3 into DDR4 through driver updates or by doubling your RAM.

What does DDR stand for in DDR3?

Double Data Rate
The term “DDR” stands for Double Data Rate. This term came into use when the first Double Data Rate Ram modules arrived. DDR RAM is capable of two data transfers per clock cycle, which gives the theoretical peak bandwidth of previous SDRAM while running at the same clock speed.

Can you mix DDR3 and DDR4 RAM?

Your system is only compatible with DDR4 memory. The layout of the pins on a DDR3 modules are completely different to that of a DDR4 module. You would be unable to install the DDR3 modules into your motherboard, if you attempted to do so, you would damage the module and/or the motherboard itself.

What is the speed of DDR3 RAM?

DDR3 SDRAM : DDR3 SDRAM stands for, Double Data Rate 3 Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory. DDR3 is supposed to act twice as fast as DDR2 memories. Thus DDR3 speeds range between 800 MHz (DDR3-800), 1600 MHz (DDR3-1600) and 2133 MHz (DDR3-2133).

Can DDR3L be used in DDR3 slot?

1 Answer 1. According to Dell’s article, you won’t be able to put DDR3 into DDR3L slot and get it to work because boards utilizing DDR3L expect your memory to work on 1.35V, compared to 1.5 v that DDR3 memory requires.

What kind of memory does my computer have installed?

you can see the type of memory that is on your computer by opening Task Manager.

Are DDR3 and DDR3L interchangeable?

DDR3/DDR3L are interchangeable; the only different is the voltage – L stand for low. Skylake will work with regular DDR3, but you risk burning out your memory controller on the CPU.
