One of the things that AMD drove with the Athlon was DDR memory. This memory type came in 184 pin packages and provided double the data rate of SDRAM. This is a 128MB PC2100 module, which runs at a base speed of 133MHz. This makes for an effective 266MHz speed when the doubling is taken into account. PC2100 refers to the fact that it is capable of transferring 2100MB/s of data.

The PC Authority labs have been due for a cleanout and in the process we have uncovered a treasure trove of old hardware. In this gallery we look at the old 32-Bit Athlon and Duron CPUs from AMD as well as a collection of memory types from back at the turn of the century.
