Ddr, Gddr

What is the difference with each of these DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, GDDR etc....

DDR4 doesn't exist as far as I know. The difference between DDR and GDDR is that DDR is the memory that holds information while the CPU is using it...while GDDR does the same thing but for the GPU.

Ahh, i get it. What are the numbers after DDR though? 2 and 3?

Those are simply new technologies. The same way graphic cards get a new name when they've improved the technology, memory gets a number when they're improved. Unless the whole shebang has been redesigned, the name is kept.

My ati 2900 pro uses GDDR4

Bascially GDDR is for graphics cards, whilst just plain DDR is for RAM. The higher the number usually means better technology and can achieve higher speeds.

There it is, short and sweet.

DDR4 definitely exists!
