Does this mobo support SDRAM?

[SimsFreak]

I am over at gideontech and they are saying this mobo does not support SDRAM but on the office page it says:

"Support DDR333/266/200 2.5V DDR SDRAM"

I just wanted to know if it does or not! thanks!

Alright then, will any DDR work (any size pin)

Technically, yes, DDR is SDRAM, just DDR SDRAM, though generally when people say SDRAM, they mean "vanilla" SDRAM, while DDR SDRAM is generally just referred to as "DDR".
It will support PC1600/2100/2700, AKA 200/266/333 MHz DDR SDRAM, as long as it's 184 pin DIMM's, which it will be as long as you don't dig up some laptop RAM(SO-DIMM's) or some really exotic stuff.

Ditto sunner. SDRAM is the type of memory and DDR is the subtype. Can be confusing.

Yes it will, but I've had bad experience recently with Kingston Value RAM. I bought one at a local Staples and it was bad. So when I took it back, I went through all the modules of the same type they had on hand to see if I could find one with Samsung chips on it (Kingston RAM is like a box of chocolates). No luck, so I took another just like the bad one. And it worked fine. Then I bought another shortly afterwards and it worked OK too. Then a few months later, one went bad - not sure which. Kingston was reasonably quick in sending me another, but I was very glad I had two modules in there so I wouldn't have to be without until the new one arrived.
. So I get the feeling that KVR is cheap for a reason... IAC, be sure to run at least two modules at a time so you won't have to be without, worse to worse..
