What prevent a ddr dimm from being installed in a ddr2 dimm slot on a motherboard?

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.

THAT WRONG! its the nothes that prevent the DIMM from going into the wrong slot

I just put a PC2 6400 in the slot that had DDR2 533. The motherboard beeped when I turned the computer on. This beeping is an indication that the memory is not installed. Therefore in my case the answer is no.
You installed a DDR motherboard with DDR2 memory and your PC does not start?
This is impossible to do without physically breaking the DDR socket. If you did manage to do this you're going to need to buy a new motherboard and ram. You probably shouldn't be building your own computer.

What prevents a ddr dimm from being installed on a ddr2 dimm motherboard?
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.
What prevents a DDr Dimm from being installed in a ddr2 dimm slot on a mother board?
The Slot layout.
What is dual channeling?
Dual-channel architecture requires a dual-channel-capable motherboard and two or more DDR, DDR2 SDRAM, or DDR3 SDRAM memory modules. The memory modules are installed into matching banks, which are usually color-coded on the motherboard.
Does ddr2 memory work in a ddr motherboard?
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 Be Safe Cadishead Computers
What prevents a ddr dimm from being installed in a ddr2 dimm slot on a mother-board?

You are using Intel Pentium d 820 processor in ddr1 motherboard iwant to change the motherboard to ddr2 keeping the processor same is it possible?
You cannot convert an existing motherboard to DDR2. As The Intel Pentium D was actually designed for motherboards with DDR2 RAM (you must have gone out of your way to purchase one with DDR RAM), it should be no problem to move the processor to another board.
