First one is DDR(1) and second one DDR2, so, there are very few motherboards that have DDR and DDR2.
What motherboard do you have any way?

EDIT: And NEVER you can use DDR and DDR2 together...

DO NOT MIX DDR AND DDR2!!!! Read your motherboard manual!

What’s the fun blink.gif, I would be crying crazy.gif... Imagen, your nice 939 nForce4 SLI 32 mobo with X2 4800+... Then you wish your RAM snapped and not your mobo newwink.gif.
