If the computer I am looking at comes with 256MB of DDR SDRAM, does that mean that it actually has 512MB of RAM because DDR RAM is double-sided?

Yes. the G4 'pipe' to memory is 133Mhz. They've put faster memory (DDR), but the G4s that are in those machines can't exploit it at all.

This is:
1) Marketting; they needed the 'DDR' and a new box on the market
2) Half bred machine; This is obviously a new chassis and motherboard, but they don't have the proper CPU yet

So, IMO, if you can buy a February 2002 2*1Ghz QuickSilver, buy THAT. It's much quieter, will be much cheaper, and has proven to be solid and reliable.
