Actually, it's about the Mainboard, not the processor!  So, depending on
the type of the chip-set that powers the Mainboard, it could be
SDR-SDRAM (like PC133) or DDR-SDRAM (like PC1600, PC2100, PC2700, or
PC3200).

My system (AMD Duron 2200+) uses PC3200 memory chips.  But I wouldn't be
surprised if someone is using PC133 with his/her Duron processor.

(Last note:  The above is not correct with modern CPU, especially the
AMD K8 range of processor (Opteron, Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64, and
recently the Athlon 64 X2 and the 64bit variant of the Duron, which
stupidly is still called... Duron!), which the memory controller is
*part* of the processor itself!)
