I recently listed my Aegis Gskill RAM for sale online, but a buyer wants to retract their bid because they didn't realize it was "SDRAM." I didn't know this either! The specifications on the website and the sticker on the RAM don't mention it. Is there an easy way to determine if my RAM is SDRAM? Thanks for your help!

All modern RAM is SDRAM. If you go back around 30 or so years, you’d find older types that aren't SDRAM, but today, pretty much everything is. So don't worry too much about it!
SDRAM just means the RAM is synchronized with the CPU clock, usually through a multiplier. Every DDR generation is considered SDRAM. Honestly, I'd say your buyer is just being difficult. Let them retract their bid and move on; it's not worth the hassle.
Thanks for that! I just told him, and he canceled the bid. Appreciate the advice!
STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD. IT'S CLOSER TO 40 YEARS AGO YOU HAVE TO GO TO FIND NON-SDRAM, AND I REMEMBER THAT WELL.
