Unfortunately not. DDR has a different amount of pins compared to a stick of DDR II. Also the slot position is slightly different.

Hope this helps

In order to use ddr2 memory the motherboard should support it. Check the manufacture website for more information. If it doesn't say that it has ddr2 support, it means that it doesn't have it. Thus you cannot use ddr2 with the motherboard.

AnswerNo. DDR3 is not backward compatible with DDR2 and DDR. e.g. DDR3 has 1.5V power, DDR2 needs 1.8V and DDR needs 2.5V power. In terms of standard motherboard slots also the notch or the key for different memory modules is at different place for the three type of memory thus preventing any accidental insertion in memory slots which can damage the memory and or the motherboard.

Unfortunately, no. DDR RAM will not work in a DDR2 motherboard, and DDR2 RAM will not work on a DDR3 motherboard. There are a few motherboards that have slots for both DDR and DDR2, so it is conceivable that there could be motherboards with slots for both DDR2 and DDR3.
