What is DIMM's?
Variants of DIMM slots support DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 RAM. The most common types of DIMMs are: 72-pin SO-DIMM (not the same as a 72-pin SIMM), used for FPM DRAM and EDO DRAM. 100-pin DIMM, used for printer SDRAM.

Is DDR3 memory backward compatible with DDR2 and DDR?
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. More Information:Gateway Tech Support said their Gateway MD7820u Notebook is compatible with both.SODIMM DDR3 might have the same pins as SODIMM DDR2.
What kind of RAM do you install in a laptop?
depending on the laptop, it could be DDR, DDR2 or DDR3. But the form factor is all the same. Its all SO-DIMM memory
3 factors to consider when choosing memory?
Standard (DDR, DDR2, DDR3 as it must be the same as your motherboard) Speed (800, 1066, 1333 again must match the motherboard for optimization, can't exceed it) Size/capacity (GBS, # of sticks)
What is the difference between ram and ddr2 ram?
There are both the same thing, ddr2 ram, is faster that ddr1 ram but ddr3 ram is more modern and faster
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.
Can you play games that run on 2 GB ddr2 ram on 2.25gb DDR ram?
The type of RAM your motherboard supports can only use that type and no other. If you have DDR2, you can not place a DDR or DDR3 module. If you mean can the game run the same on another system with different RAM, then quite possibly, but the speed of that memory may not be suitable for it.
Is Mac memory the same as a PC?
Yes. For example the iMac uses PC2-5300 DDR2 SO-DIMM SDRAM memory.
Are RIMM and DIMM interchangeable?
You can not use RIMM memory in a DIMM type Motherboard, or vise versa. Although they pretty much do the same job, they work in different ways.
What is ddr2 vs ddr3?
DDR2 and DDR3 are different types of RAM. Interested that you posted in graphics cards as well. Heres why: For system memory, RAM that you can buy and replace on your motherboard, there isn't any performance difference. ddr3 is NOT faster at all significantly. Its a different type, you simply need to get the same type for compatibility. On laptops, ddr3 gives better battery life but not very significantly. For graphics cards, this is called vRAM and the types are usually called gddr2 and gddr3. In this case, gddr3 is MUCH faster. A single model of card will be produced in both types, which is confusing, and for example an 8600 gddr3 is probably faster than a 9600 gddr2.
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.
