pc2 or pc

jcortes · 12-19-2006, 07:03 PM

my friend is looking to buy some ram but what is the difference between PC2 and PC and ddr2 and ddr they seem to go together like.

ddr 400 - pc 3200

ddr2 400 - pc2 3200

the main question is will this make the diffence between the ram working or not?

the connectors are different, eg: ddr is 184pin, ddr 2 is 240pin, and the speeds / etc are different too.

It depends on what kind of motherboard he has. Whether it supports DDR or DDR2 ram.
