| 1245238 | 2011-11-24 05:41:00 | www.pbtech.co.nz - PBTech is having a sale on this particular RAM module at the moment. My laptop is currently running on two modules of DDR2 RAM. Are DDR3 memory modules backward compatible? Thanks Cheers :) |

| 1245241 | 2011-11-24 06:32:00 | RAM is usually backward compatible in terms of speed, but Never between types. e.g. DDR3 1600 will happily work at 1333 (usually). There has never to my knowledge been a RAM socket shared between more than one type of RAM so you can't even plug it in. |
