    Can somebody explain this to me: 1gb GDDR3 SDram with quadro nvs 130m?

    Hi,

    I hope somebody will tell me what I've done wrong here.

    So I have a tecra M9 motherboard with a quadro NVS 130m.
    I am looking at the motherboard and I see the video memory chips.
    They have this written on them "K4J52324QE-BC14".

    I have the datasheet here:
    http://www.samsung.com/global/syste...AM/512Mbit/K4J52324QE/ds_k4j52324qe_rev12.pdf


    Why does the datasheet say that the chip is a 512mb GDDR3 SDram chip?
    Isn't it supposed to be a 64mb DDR2 chip?

    512Mbit not byte 8bits = 1 byte

    512Mbits = 64MBytes

    I knew that it couldn't be true. Thanks for clearing that up :)

    But I can't believe that it's GDDR3 and 700mhz.

    So I should be able to overclock the mem to 700mhz no problem then.
    Very nice.
