DDR3 is not electrically compatible with DDR2. DDR3 runs at 1.5v default where DDR2 runs at a higher 1.8v, so if you did manage to stick a DDR3 module into a DDR2 board, chances are you will fry ...

In the meantime, would it be possible/advisable to use my old DDR2 800 RAM (4GB) until my shiny new DDR3 shows up? Both are 240 pin, but I wasn't sure if DDR3 slots were backward compatible w/ DDR2.

Naturally, DDR3 was next out of the gate (it debuted around 2007), with its internal clock cut in half again, its speed about twice that of DDR2 (400-1,066MHz, for a maximum transfer rate of 2 ...

DDR3 SDRAM is an evolutionary step from DDR2 and provides enhanced features to enable higher data rates. It also maintains enough backward compatibility with DDR2 to provide system designers with the ...

So far there are no AMD compatible motherboards that supports DDR3 and we don't expect to see any all that soon. It's also more complicated to design a motherboard for DDR3 due to the shorter ...

This is because the pin configuration for a DDR3 RAM is different from that of DDR2 or DDR4, this is why you need to make sure that the RAM you buy must be compatible with your computer.

San Jose, Calif.—Integrated Device Technology Inc. announced what it claims is the industry's fastest JEDEC-compatible integrated register and phase-locked loop (PLL) for DDR3 registered dual in-line ...

The Mixed-Signal LPDDR3/2 DDR3/2 Combo PHYs with industry standard DFI V2.1 interface provide the most advanced physical interface solutions for ICs requiring access to all sorts of JEDEC compatible .
