Question: how does DDR lower power consumption, as I've heard Scumbria say? IIRC Another reason is that since the transfer takes half the time and that being when the power consumed by the memory is highest (when memory chips are selected), then it should roughly divide the time of maximum power by two (the time when the memory is not selected of course would remain equal to non DDR). Hence reduced average power. Of course the power used during transfer may be a bit higher that in a regular SDRAM but not twice as much, the net result is still a power reduction. Comments anyone?
