I was going to upgrade my pc somewhat soon. I am going to replace the mb with a gigabyte ga-8i945p-g (intel's 945p mb) and the cpu is going to be a 3.2Ghz P4 640 Prescott 2mb L2 cache 800Mhz HT 64bit cpu. This new mb however has ddr2 slots, and I have 1.5gigs of ddr400 ram in my current system. Is it possible at all that ddr ram will work in a ddr2 slot?

And also, is that the best mb to go with that cpu?
 
spiffman66,

Unfortunately, DDR & DDR2 are not pin compatible.

Nice choice of components but the ram is completely differant as rvnguy points out.
