RAM Compatibility Question

[C1]

Found some nice Kingston SDRAM DDR 667 1GB RAM sticks which were taken out of an iMAC.

Would this memory work in an Intel Windows based PC notebook? One of my notebooks is spec'ed for DDR2 667, but the other one (Pentium M) currently uses SDRAM DDR2 533.


Thanks in advance

No. DDR and DDr2 normally have different notches, voltage, and pin counts.

Correct, DDR1 does not work in DDR2 which does not work in DDR3 and vice versa. If they were the same DDR types, they should work.

Am I reading this right? I wasn't aware DDR-667 existed.

Are you sure it's DDR and not DDR2? Because if the answer is no, then the answer is that it would be compatible, but the system would only run at the speed of the slower RAM.
