Can i put a ddr3 memory in a ddr2 slot

[kenkim2001]

Will I be able to use ddr3 in a ddr2 memory slot?

You can't do it , the physical form factor, DDR2 and DDR3 have a different pin count as well as a different notch position.

no. they won't fit. the notch of DDR2 is more the the side opposed to the notch of DDR3 which is more in the middle.
