I have a question about DDR and DDR2 memory. First of all, there really isn't that much of a price difference. Secondly, what is the deal with compatibility in Motherboards. I have not really noticed Motherboards that say they are compatible with DDR2 memory. Can I just use DDR2 3200 memory in a mobo that supports DDR 3200?

Nope. DDR2 has a different pin ammout. It also runs on a lower voltage.
