Unfortunately you can not. DDR and DDR2 have a different pin arrangement and they will never work in each others slots.

What is 533MHz PC5300?

Is it possible to use pc5300 ram in a laptop designed for pc2700 ddr ram?
Actually the first person who said that it wouldn't fit was correct. It may have the same amount of pins but the size of the card is slightly different. I tried it! No, pc5300 has more pins and won't fit. The above answer is incorrect. Both are 200 pin pieces. I dont know if the 5300 memory will work but the pin count is the same. Why would you want to ??? The faster Memory module PC5300 will clock down to the lower speed of the bus for the PC2700 . You are spending money for nothing. PLUS if you have issues and need tech support - they won't talk to you until you reinstall the PC2700 as they won't support memory not designed for the unit. All in all - a BAD idea. Both notebook DDR and DDR2 come as 200 pin chips. (unlike desktop ram where DDR has 180 and DDR2 has 240 pins). DDR2 was not designed to be backwards compatible with DDR. I want to know if the mobo will recongnize the difference, or if the slot in the ram is a different place. The reason you would want to buy DDR2 over DDR is A: faster. B: a 1 stick gig DDR PC 2700 ram costs about twice as much a 1 gig stick of DDR PC 5300 would.
Can PC5300 RAM be used in a computer that has PC3200 RAM?
It is possible to use pc3200 ddr ram in a PC designed for pc2700 ddr ram, but the pc3200 ram will only run at pc2700. If you want to fully exploit the pc3200 ram then you will have to buy a motherboard that will be able to support a speed equal to pc3200 or greater.

There is two types. There is DDR notebook RAM and there is DDR desktop ram. They can't be used vin each other (notebook RAM can't be used in a desktop) unless (in rare circumstances) you happen to have a notebook ram port on your desktop's motherboard. But no, DDR is a technology. Both desktops and notebooks support this technology because there is notebook DDR and desktop DDR. but notebook DDR can't be put in desktop DDR and vice versa.
