I told you to stick a sock in your mouth and unplug your keyboard...

I don't know about the first bit but you haven't done what I said!

Can't you like download them off of the internet like all of the other stuff you have?!?

I can only help you out a LITTLE bit with only PART of your question! So I'm not much help really!! :)

DDR is Double Data Rate, it is twice as fast as SDRam (which is the usual RAM in computers). So I think it speeds your computer up...

As for the AGP "x 2" bit, I'm guessing that's the speed. Just like a CD-Rewriter or something. x2 being the slowest?
