Do Intel computers use the same type of ram?

Answer 1

It is difficult to answer this, as the answer changes over time, and as it depends so much on the specific computer and chipset. Modern computers use a type of RAM called DDR2 or DDR3, and both Intel and AMD computers are being shipped now (2012) in each variety. (Note that a computer that is designed to take DDR2 will not accept DDR3, or vice versa.) Generally, in the past, all computers used the same types of RAM at the same time, moving from DRAM through SDRAM to DDR and DDR2, and now DDR3, though there was a time when Intel decided to use something called RDRAM, which AMD chose not to support.

Answer 2

Type must be right. Ram size and speed not as important although ram speed will be the the slowest stick speed
