Help
Hello everyone,
My 's specification is at http://valid.canardpc.com/2569693
Accordingly, I am using a400 MHz DDR2 RAM. I researched on my mainboard and found out that my mainboard support a 1066 or 1333 DDR3 RAM at http://www-aws.deltr...er=MBECSG41T-M7
I am about to attach a new RAM.
I wonder whether I can have a 1066 or 1333 DDR3 RAM on my mainboard or not.
Thank you very much.

Interestingly, newegg says the board uses DDR2 667/800MHz RAM. (Note: DDR=Double Data Rate, so what CPU-Z reads as 400MHz is really 800.) http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813135239
Both DDR2 and DDR3 are physically compatible though, and I think some boards support both.

The issue guys, is that ECS made several motherboards with similar names. Here is the board in question: http://www.ecs.com.t...nuID=16&LanID=9
It is DDR2 only.

Just to clarify, DDR2 and DDR3 are NOT physically compatible. The key is further offset on DDR3. The boards that support both have separate slots for each type.

OK, I got a bit confused with that.
