DDR AND SDR compatibility???

[Quaggoth]

I'm sure I read it wrong, but I was just reading the KT-400 article posted at THG and it states that the KT-XXX boards support BOTH SDR and DDR memory... This doesn't mean that either will work does it?? As I recall the DDR sticks are physically different from SDR and therefor would not work in a DDR board. The reason I ask is because I plan on an upgrade soon and would like to make sure that I get the right stuff. I don't want to have to buy DDR memory ATM and from what that article says I can use either... Anyway, I'm sure I'm wrong but would like a second oppinion.

Thanks in advance.

some boards have slots for either memory type.

I don't think you can use both at the same time. the ddr will probably 'trump' any occupied sdr chips.

look at the boards and see if they have two types of memory slots if you have concerns. If they do, they are compatible with both types
