Need some help to identify if the ram i'm using is DDR or not. I run SiSoftware Sandra and i got the following results:

Warning 2545 : Large memory modules should be Registered/Buffered.

With the above results, is my ram a DDR or SDram and what PC**** is it? And how to tell what type of PC**** ram my pc can support so that i know which one to go for when i plan to upgrade my memory.
And lastly, regarding the warning 2545, what is it about? Is it something that i should enable it somewhere in my pc?
I'm using Athlon 2000XP. Its not an overclock system... dont know how to do it heh. I hope you ppl can help me on this, as you can see, i'm not good into computers.

More about : identify type ram

I'm no expert, but I'm gonna take a stab at it.

Based on these lines from that output:
----------
Bank 0 Setting : 128MB DDR-SDRAM 7-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 2.0-3-3CL 2CMD
Bank 1 Setting : 128MB DDR-SDRAM 7-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 2.0-3-3CL 2CMD
Speed : 2x 133MHz (266MHz data rate)

Memory Module(s)
Memory Module 1 : Kingmax Semiconductor MPDB62D-68KX2-MAA 256MB 16x(16Mx8) DDR-SDRAM PC2100U-233-750 (CL2.5 upto 133MHz) (CL2 upto 133MHz)

Per the THGC FAQ v1.4 (September 15th, 2002), looks to me like you are running:

PC2100 = 133 Mhz DDR-SDRam (DDR 266)

That was pretty easy, as the report says it's PC2100. :o )

If I'm not mistaken, DDR SDRAM is a type of SDRAM. :o ) So yes, you do have SDRAM, it's just DDR-SDRAM. heh.

There you are. DDR.

Pathetic rhyme not intended.
