PC 133 RAM w/ PC3200

Is it possible to add a PC 133 stick of RAM to a PC 3200 slot?

Re: PC 133 RAM w/ PC3200

no. SDRAM and DDR RAM are totally different.

there is a socket-A board -- the ECS K7S5A -- that supports both SDRAM (pc133) and DDR RAM. however not simultaneously - its either/or.

What Blackhearted said. And just to clarify it a bit more,

PC100/133 is 168 pin
PC2100 and up is 184 pin.

DDR RAM is still SDRAM.

its always referred to as DDR SDRAM.

The difference in compatibility lies in the pins.

omfg can we nitpick some more?
the guy was asking if they were interchangeable. for all practical purposes they are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

and the differences are ONLY in the pins, huh? i see. so they just decided 'hey, lets add 16 pins to SDRAM, it might run faster'.

LOL

Dont get so upset, i was just pointing out that DDR RAM is still, infact, SDRAM, but has differences that make it incompatible.

Simply building on your post, not rebuking it.
