    No DDR will not work in DDR2 slots.  DDR2 will not work in DDR3 slots.

    No. DDR1 doesn't fit in DDR2 slot. DDR1 is 184 pins and DDR2 is 240 pins IIRC.

    I think it will, but I'm not 100% sure. RAM really isn't that expensive anymore, so he should probably just buy DDR2 to go with the rest of the upgrades. DDR1 (if it works) would end up bottlenecking most newer hardware anyway. It'd be best just to upgrade it.

    Edit: Okay, so it won't work. The more you know...

    Yeah do not be fooled even it they have the same number of pins they still will not fit because one is round the other is square.

    I'm calling shenanigans on this post. I read your post on AMD core 6 for one next if your friend  running a PC that still uses DDR1 then basically the internet is about all you can use that PC for last You know the meaning of DDR for that matter you know what is DDR2 so lol OK once again Shenanigans

    WTF have you been smoking.. you do understand that DDR2 has only recently become standard. DDR2 has only been around since like 2000 or something like that. Last time I checked there were games out before 2000

    Ive been smoking nothing. You seem not to understand the progression that computer's have come since 2000. er maybe you know enough that yes DDR2 has become the standard. Let me give you a brief example as to a what a typical PC would of been pre 2000.

    Intel pentium 2 333 MHz

    gpu Voodoo2

    DDR-333

    soundblaster 16

    Anywho typical games that you could run on such a machine:

    Street Fighter II

    Doom

    Gran Turismo

    Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara

    Final Fantasy VII

    EverQuest and Asheron's Call

    So this is why i called Shenanigans incase you are not fimilar with the term it means 


    1 : a devious trick used especially for an underhand purpose

    2 a : tricky or questionable practices or conduct —usually used in plural b : high-spirited or mischievous activity —usually used in plural

    So basicly I thought the OP was just joking with us when he posted this thread.
