Memory Ram
the different notch positions keep someone from installing a DDR DIMM or DDR2 DIMM in the wrong memory slot.
No. A motherboard will specify what type of memory it supports. The DIMM slot for DDR,DDR2 and DDR3 have different footprints.
No, you can't use same DIMM slots for DDR2 and DDR3 due to different position of the key and interface incapability.
The Slot layout.
The two communicate in different ways, so they are incompatible software-wise. They are also physically incompatible due to a different pin arrangement, different notch locations, and different voltages.
240-pin DDR3 dimm is currently the fastest memory. it can support quad, triple, or dual channels or be installed as a single dimm. it has an offset notch father from the center than a ddr2 dimm
There is a notch that prevents installation, even though the modules are the same size and have the same number of pins. Notch position between DDR and DDR2 are diferent. Also, the memory socket on a motherboard is diferent for all types of memories. If the memory socket is design for DDR you can't put any other memory type but DDR and so for all other types.
It is not hard to install the 2GB DDR2 SO-DIMM in your Acer laptop.
