Hi,
I have access to a remote linux machine. I have a root account on it.
I need to know whether the installed RAM is SDRAM or DDRAM.
Unfortunately i will be going to the site next month when i have to
upgrade the machine with more capacity. Few of them are hardware
related but if you know the answer please help me.
1) How do i find out when the machine is online , if it is SDRAM or
DDRAM. I tried dmidecode utility but i was not sure about the type.
Can someone help me out by pasting the output for both DDR and SDRAM
in dmidecode or similar.
Can't help you with this one, sorry....
2) Can both SDRAM and DDRAM be present at a time in the same
motherboard. I mean can i have 256MB of SDRAM chip and a 256 MB of
DDRAM on the same motherboard.
If yes what are the conditions.
Most motherboards are designed for one type of RAM, those few who can use
both can, as far as I have seen, just use one type at a time.
3) Is a motherboard designed for only one type of RAM , like if we
remove all the SDRAMs can we put DDR in it or it is either designed
for DDR or SDRAM.
As I said, most motherboards have just one type of RAM-slot...
