SODIMM
Small outline dual inline memory module. Smaller and thinner
than standard DIMMs, SODIMMs are typically used in laptop computers.
FPM
Fast page mode - A feature used to support faster sequential
access to DRAM by allowing multiple accesses to the currently open row to be
made after supplying the row address just once.
EDO
Extended data out. An asynchronous DRAM operating mode that
improves access times compared to fast page mode (FPM) DRAMs
SDRAM
Synchronous dynamic random access memory delivers bursts of data
at high speeds using a synchronous interface. Its is actually SDR SDRAM (single
data rate SDRAM) but is usually used to referred to as just "SDRAM."
DDR
Double data rate is a type of SDRAM in which data is sent on both
the rising and falling edges of clock cycles in a data burst. It is usually
referred to as DDR as opposed to DDR SDRAM.
