DDR2

Older computer memory

DDR2 is a type of computer memory (RAM) that succeeded DDR and preceded DDR3.

The abbreviation stands for double data rate, referring to how the memory transfers data twice per clock cycle.

DDR2 was standard in desktop and laptop computers from roughly 2004 to 2009: This old motherboard only supports DDR2.
