Can I put a DDR3 RAM into a DDR2?

[Don Panzer]

Title says all!

Actually I don't know If I have got ddr ddr2 or ddr3 , but I think I have got ddr2.

No, you cannot use both DDR2 and DDR3 at the same time if that's what you mean.

You have to have all the same, and someone correct me if I'm wrong but i think they also all have to have the same latency

I thought you needed the motherboard to be capable of holding ddr3. I may be wrong.

Well yea, that too, but that's obvious lol
It's backwards compatible, so if your motherboard can handle ddr3 then you can also use ddr2, and ddr, but all sticks have to be the same.

Well if you would like to run ddr3 you will need a ddr3 mobo, As I recall ddr3 motherboards are backwards compatible with ddr2 but you cannot mix the 2.
