Unfortunately, no. DDR RAM will not work in a DDR2 motherboard, and DDR2 RAM will not work on a DDR3 motherboard.
There are a few motherboards that have slots for both DDR and DDR2, so it is conceivable that there could be motherboards with slots for both DDR2 and DDR3.

∙ 14y agoI assume the video card has built in DDR2 memory... and the new computer you're getting runs DDR3. If this is the case, yes, the video card is completely separate from the system. There should be no problems. You can run a video card with DDR5 on a computer that has DDR2 with no problems, aswell.

∙ 15y agomany Motherboards that have DDR3 slots also contain DDR2 slots. DDR2 WILL NOT WORK on a DDR3 slot, and it should not be forced in. Remember that DDR3 is VERY DIFFERENT than DDR2.

i have bought new ddr3 motherboard n my old ddr2 graphic card 8500 gt works great on it my system is asus dp5gw 2 gb ram 600 watts suplly.....

∙ 12y agoNo. DDR3 and DDR2 are very different in speed and cant be used on each others chipsets. Also the notches are in a different place so even if you tried it wouldn't fit

∙ 12y agoNo. DDR1 RAM and DDR2 RAM is not forward nor backward compatible with each other.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoSince there is no number associated with DDR type memory, it is assumed to be DDR1. The speed of the memory is based on whether the computer can accept it or not.

∙ 10y agoNo, a DDR3 card will not work on a DDR2 board. DDR stand for double data rate and can be described as the standardized random access memory format for most laptop and desk computers.

What module ddr3 or ddr2 use less voltage?
DDR3 uses 1.5V; DDR2 uses either 1.8V or 2.5V
Do ddr3 dimm use more votage than ddr2 dimm?
DDR3 memory provides a reduction in power consumption of 30% compared to DDR2_SDRAMmodules due to DDR3's 1.5 V supply voltage, compared to DDR2's 1.8 V or DDR's 2.5 V.
Can I use ddr3 ram in my Gateway MD2614u?
sorry bout this, but the md2614u only supports ddr2 memory, and the limit on RAM is 4gb.
Can a ddr2 and a ddr3 use the same dimm slot on a motherboard?
No, you can't use same DIMM slots for DDR2 and DDR3 due to different position of the key and interface incapability.
Can you use DDR2 ram on DP45SG?
No, it only accepts ddr3.
Which type of memory are you likely to find in todays laptops?
Computer uses Memory installed on DIMM Slots on Motherboards.Nowadays different versions of DDR RAMs are used (DDR1, DDR2 & DDR3).Laptops use similar memories (DDR1, DDR2 & DDR3) but in small form of DIMM Sockets called Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) memories.
What is best ddr2 or ddr3?
DDR3 is better at the moment, however to make full use of DDR3 RAM you need a DDR3-compatible motherboard as well as a multi-core processor.
What type of memory would a PC most likely use to hold an application you are currently using?
Todays Computers use DDR2 or DDR3. In rare cases, they may use DDR4. DDR means Double Data Rate. A application can run good on 512 MB on DDR2.
What are the differences between ddr1 ddr2 and ddr3?
In computing, a computer bus operating with double data rate transfers data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal. This is also known as double pumped, dual-pumped, and double transition. DDR2 stores memory in memory cells that are activated with the use of a clock signal to synchronize their operation with an external data bus. Like DDR before it, DDR2 cells transfer data both on the rising and falling edge of the clock (a technique called "dual pumping"). The key difference between DDR and DDR2 is that in DDR2 the bus is clocked at twice the speed of the memory cells, so four words of data can be transferred per memory cell cycle. DDR3 memory comes with a promise of a power consumption reduction of 30% compared to current commercial DDR2 modules due to DDR3's 1.5 V supply voltage, compared to DDR2's 1.8 V or DDR's 2.5 V. This supply voltage works well with the 90 nm fabrication technology used for most DDR3 chips. Some manufacturers further propose to use "dual-gate" transistors to reduce leakage of current. The main benefit of DDR3 comes from the higher bandwidth made possible by DDR3's 8 bit deep prefetch buffer, whereas DDR2's is 4 bits, and DDR's is 2 bits deep.
How many pins of ddr3 ram?
Here's what I found out for you. The DDR3 has 240 pins just like the DDR2, however, they will not be compatible, you will not be able to put a DDR3 into a DDR2 slot. The knotch on the stick of RAM is in a different location so it will not fit. So a new motherboard made for DDR3 will have to be used. They are currently out on the MAC Lite computers but not sure if Microsoft has any on the market yet. The DDR3 will use 1.5V, which is lower than the DDR2 1.8V.
How can you change from ddr to ddr2?
The type of RAM you use is dependant on what your motherboard and CPU can handle. You want to change from DDR to DDR2? Id' recommend getting a new computer.
What type of ram does the gateway dx4200-09 use?
Memory Type: DDR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 PC2-8500, DDR2 (non-ECC)Maximum Memory: 8GBSlots: 4Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 PC2-8500 with a maximum of 2GB per slot.
