Aluvus Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 No. Won't fit physically, and wouldn't work anyway if it did fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I just found this the hard way last month. I dropped 300 bucks on some Kingston Hyper X not realizing it was DDR1. It worked fine in my old pc which I meant to upgrade pretty soon (hence me spending 300 bucks on ram). So a few weeks later I bought one of those new core 2 duo motherboards. Got home all exited to install the new mother board and the RAM wouldn't fit. Couldn't return the ram either. Now I have some great ram stuck in an old pc and some "value" ram in my new gaming one. Such is life eh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
