    When I Look Up Images for DDR4 Memory Sticks they all show 1. Chip in the Center of the Memory Stick.

    Then 10 Chips on the Left and Right Side of the Chip in the Center of the Memory Stick.

    And the 10 Chips are not in a Row but 5. Chips on Top and Under them another 5. Chips.

    Is this Right?

    The number and placement of the chips will differ, depending on manufacturer.

    Thank you for the help.

    I have a Dell XPS 8930 Model DeskTop.
    The Service Tag is HNMD243 and they Told me I have DDR4. DRAM in my System.

    I know SDRAM Syncs to the CPU Speed. and DRAM does not.

    So why did Dell put DRAM in my System?

    Or do I not Understand Memory?

    Ok my System is an i5 CPU and has DRAM DDR4. System Memory.

    I know SRAM does not have to be Refreshed so it is Faster.

    Can I Install SRAM in my System and take out my DRAM?

    Sorry my System has DRAM I wanted to know if I can Replace it with SDRAM?

    I know SRAM is for CPUs.

    SRAM doesn't come in sticks, it comes on chips so how would you replace it?

    Right now my System has DRAM Installed.

    Do they not Sell SDRAM?

    It isn't the same thing, Biferi.
    You can't replace one with the other.
    It's physically impossible.

    Am I Right DRAM does not Run at the CPU Speed?

    But SDRAM does Run at the CPU Speed?

    Yes, SDRAM synchronizes itself with the CPU speed.
