DDR3
Desktop memory type
DDR3 is a type of computer memory (RAM) that succeeded DDR2 and preceded DDR4.
The abbreviation stands for double data rate, third generation.
DDR3 modules transfer data faster and consume less power than their predecessors.
The technology dominated personal computers from roughly 2007 to 2015: My old laptop still uses DDR3.
