Uh, I'm make a big mistake lol. I've ordered 512mb of DDR Ram when my system only takes SDRAM. the RAM I have atm is 144-pin whereas the RAM i've ordered is 200pin. The question I'm asking is, will this RAM run at all in my system?
sd ram has a different pin out, the slot is in a different place so it won't work. if it has ddr in the name, it's ddr even though it says sdram. it can be confusing
what's that mean? Does that mean it's compatible with both? If so does the 200-pin part of it mean any incompatibility issues? Thanks again guys.
Just like tommi said, if the pinouts don't match, then you can't use it. But, to elaborate a little further, DDR is SDRAM. But, the SDRAM you're using could technically be called Single Data Rate SDRAM. Double Data Rate (DDR) is essentially twice as fast as "regular" SDRAM.
It's a variation on the same technology-- a variation that renders the two types of memory incompatible.
