DDR4

Current memory type

DDR4 is a type of computer memory, the fourth generation of double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory.

It succeeded DDR3 around 2014, offering faster speeds and lower power consumption.

DDR4 modules are physically keyed differently from earlier generations, preventing installation in incompatible slots: This motherboard only supports DDR4.
