Kool!

Can't seem to find anywhere on the site that mentions how much RAM there is to confirm if it is indeed 1GB DDR2...
Unless this statement means RAM under the Technology tab:

MEMORY
16 GB on board; 16 GB microSD card pre-installed

However I think that is referring to the amount of Storage memory on the device...
Anyone shed some light?

 

[rbernard80]

Their official battery claims, don't think we'd seen these before:

TALK TIME (CONTINUOUS)
up to 650 min.
STANDBY TIME
up to 200 hrs.

This has been answered 15,000 times for the past three months. 1GB DDR.

Then please find on their site where it says 1GB DDR...I cannot seem to find it anywhere on the site to confirm whether it is 1GB DDR or 1GB DDR2!!!!

Click on Overview. In the Key Features it says 1GB RAM. True, no mention of which type.

Thanks! Can we assume that it means DDR? Wouldn't they specifically state its DDR2 if it were? I mean that would be pretty much badasser if it were! Its already badass enough...

OK, thanks for the link to it...however it says in the Memory & Hard Drive, 1GB of Low Power DDR2 RAM and then the bottom it says 1 Gigabyte RAM...

Which one/who do I believe? This sticky or the manufacturer's website?

ok I am having a dumb moment. I see 2 different CDMA frequencies on the Moto site in addition to the LTE. I thought it was 1 CDMA and LTE or is it the voice and data on the CDMA frequencies then the LTE on its own? Long day at the office so like I said having an off moment and confused myself.

MULTIPLE NETWORKS
CDMA 800, CDMA1900, LTE B13 700

What do you mean? 1GB of DDR2 RAM is the same thing as 1 Gigabyte RAM.

I was confused by what Dale Griggs was saying about DDR vs DDR2...I was wanting clarification as to which one to believe, the sticky (which says 1GB DDR2) or Motorola Mobility website which does not mention DDR2. Do we assume it is indeed DDR2?

The website doesn't go into detail. Just like you don't see that it is a TI OMAP4 4430 Dual Core Processor. Just Dual Core Processor

There are many different types of RAM.

DRAM
SDRAM
DDR RAM
DDR2
DDR3

DDR3 is the most typical ones you see in high end computers.

DDR is mostly seen in computers 6-8 years ago.

DDR2 mostly seen in computers 3-5 years ago.

So DDR to DDR2 is a no brainer... DDR2 is almost 2x as fast as regular DDR. DDR3 is almost 2x as fast as DDR2 and DDR3 consumes less power.

If you're still looking for DDR2 confirmation, at the end of the analysis on the new droiddoes landing page it does specifically mention DDR2. DROID DOES

Wow. This thread gave me a headache. RAM is a generic term for memory (Random Access Memory) and people getting confused because something says DDR2 and then something else says RAM... so whats better? hahaha I love non-techies. DDR2 is the 'type' of RAM.

For future reference, if something says it has "2gb of RAM", the only thing you can count on is the fact that there is a quantity of 2gb. This is not enough of a description to tell you what TYPE of ram. SDRAM < DDR < DDR2 < DDR3

Not to mention you can get into the normal Single Channel DDR(1,2,3) memory or Dual Channel, etc... there are plenty of variables to consider and not just the quantity.
