No... DDR2 and DDR are not compatible with each other.
If the mobo you have supports DDR2 modules... you need DDR2 modules. You can not use DDR memory. It will not even fit in the slot correctly. Same thing the other way around also. |

Newegg.com is highly recommnended if your in the US.
Directron.com Mwave.com Zipzoomfly.com are also good. |

Just curious... Do you already have a system, or just RAM? I seems like you are gong backward if you want to downgrade to a DDR system.

(newegg is generally regarded as the best)
Not only to they 'Generally' have the best prices... their RMA is unbeatable!

Use the stock heatsink and fan that comes with the retail boxed processor.
It will allow you to keep the CPU warranty valid. |
