Speeds

One of the main differences between DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 is the highest transfer rate each generation can reach. Below we list the most common speeds for each generation. Some manufacturers can deliver memory chips capable of achieving other speeds than those listed; for example, specialty memories targeted to overclockers. Clocks ending in 33 and 66 MHz are, in fact, periodic decimal expansions (33.3333 and 66.6666, respectively).
