Ummm... what exactly does say? 'DDRx', or something else?

Borrowed this chart from Wikipedia's page about DIMMs and their standardized specifications

Across every generation of DDR, regardless of the speed rating, there is but 1 factor that remains the same. I will note that there are a few omissions (DDR3-L) and there are also a few manufacturers that build components slightly outside of that certain spec, but as a rule of thumb the single spec that is cast into the RAM slot will tell you what generation of DDR the board supports.
