The conventional SDRAM modules and DDR SDRAM modules have the same basic lines, as can be seen in this picture. It is still difficult for the uninitiated to spot the difference between the two DIMM's. SDRAM (above) has two notches, whereas DDR SDRAM (below) only has one.

It's easy to confuse the two if you don't pay close attention to the notches.
