NOTE DDR2 RAM sticks will not fit into DDR sockets, nor are they

electronically compatible.

Table 4-2 shows some of the common DDR2 speeds.

DDR3

DDR3 boasts higher speeds, more efficient architecture, and around 30

percent lower power consumption than DDR2 RAM. Just like its

predecessor, DDR3 uses a 240-pin DIMM, albeit one that is slotted

differently to make it difficult for users to install the wrong RAM in their

system without using a hammer (see Figure 4-16). DDR3 SO-DIMMs for

portable computers have 204 pins. Neither fits into a DDR2 socket.
