DDR = (Double Data Rate) pretty much the only thing used anymore. Runs @ FSBx2

SD = (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) Old school, still used in some servers and older computers. Not used on newer systems.

RD = (RAMBUS Dynamic Random Access Memory), dead. - Used on some of the early P4 systems. I say again, dead.

pc 2700=333,2100=266,3000=400,3200=433mhz...its just the speed.depends on your board as to what you need to use.for overclocking its the higher the better...

slightly wrong

pc3200 = ddr400

pc3000 = ddr~375 (cant remember) exact number

 

also higher is not always better ddr 333 running at faster ram timings (eg. 2,2,2,6) performs better than ddr400 at slower ram timings (eg. 2.5,3,3,6). It also depends on the fsb of the cpu because my rig runs slower, when the ram is at ddr400 (200 fsb) (regardles of the timings) because my cpu is at 133fsb so it is slower than when i bring the ram down to ddr 333.
