RAM

There are three ways of listing DDR RAM performance. DDR400 (stands for the effective clockspeed), PC 3200 (banwidth 3200 MB/s) and PC400 (effective clockspeed again). Basically four figures is bandwidth, three figures is clockspeed.

PC3200 is another way of writing PC400 or DDR 400. All three of those mean that the bus speed of the RAM module is 400MHz.

In similar fashion PC2700 is PC333 or DDR 333 (333 MHz) and PC2100 is PC266 or DDR 266 (266MHz).
