* ) Last Update: July 4, 2001**) Physical frequency. Since both the rising and falling edges of the signal are used in DDR SDRAM, the effective bandwidth is twice as high as cards equipped with SDRAM at the same clock speed. The driver lists the RAM frequency as "460 MHz", which is marketing-friendly.
