Guest Mickey Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Hi,, have a question i have an dfi lanparty sli-dr that supports sdram, and ddr but now can iI also put DDR2 on my mobo? Maybe it is too fast, but can't I downgrade it, like from 667 to 400mhz? or another option? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsejockey Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 All ram is essentially sdram - synchronis dynamic random access memory. Your board and cpu only support DDR1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technohydra Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 More than that, DDR2 ram won't fit in the socket. The position of the key slot changed between the two types. Also, a DDR socket only has 184 pins to make contact, whereas DDR2 requires a socket with 240 pins. DDR3 is also 240 pins, but again, the position of the key slot changed, so you can't accidentally mount a dimm of DDR3 in a DDR2 socket. As to would it work if it fit? No, in fact, it would kill the board. I've been a part of a force-fit test, and the board went boom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
