PC100 in DDR slot?

[jghoffay]

did a search for this in forums and Google too... Can PC100 be used on DDR motherboards? does it depend on the MB? Thanks-

no, they(SDRAM and DDR) use entirely different slots

It can not. Totally different pin out (168 vs. 184 pin)

There are some motherboards out there that have slots for both though, but you can only use one type at a time. It's mainly pc133 and pc2100.

Ah, but the answer "no" is not completely right. If a board has both SDRAM and DDR-SDRAM slots, then PC100 can be used on that board. The K7S5A for example.

The thread title question and the question in the post itself aren't the same question. One mentions a slot, the other doesn't.

OK then...now he/she knows unless we are going to lists the MoBo's...Dibs on the Shuttle AK32A

Anyone remember SIMM converters? Allowing 30-pin RAM to be used in 72-pin slots? Same for 72-pin RAM in SDRAM slots.

Anyone ever hear of an SDR-to-DDR converter? Mind you, the price of the unit might negate the difference of just getting PC2100.

PC100/133 has 3 pin banks, and DDR only has 2. not going to work.. it's easily identifiable by those pins...
