DDR2 vs DDR3

[cromedome]

will ddr2 800mhz work on a board that supports ddr3 memory?? board being a ECS P45T-AD3...

No, DDR2 memory WILL NOT work in a DDR3 motherboard, and vice versa. The keypoints are different from each one so are also physically incompatible with one another.

Right now, DDR2 and DDR3 memory are more or less the same price, so it shouldn't be much of a problem to get DDR3 now.

NO!

 

[shubham1401]

Yes! If it fits

 

[outlw6669]

No really, it does not.
If you try to force it you will break the RAM, the motherboard or both.

 

[shubham1401]

Ok.
I was kidding.
It won't fit. Don't even try.

 

[outlw6669]

No problem, just keep in mind how stupid people are.
If the parts are even remotely similar in size, some idiot will force them together somehow.
I have even seen a few instances of people sawing at their addin cards to get them to fit in a different slot type

On second thought, the pics in that thread where hilarious
Go for it OP!

I could have swore I saw one where pictures where posted of a card being cut down and afterwards mounted on the motherboard :lol:
