Can I use DDR1 on my computer using DDR2?
I have 2 DDR333's lying around after my laptop broke. I got a new computer, and it has a slot available, but you know these days computers come with DDR2's.
Is it possible to use the old RAM on the new computer? I heard that both DDR1 and DDR2 for laptops have the same pins.

DDR1 and DDR2 motherboards have different connectors, so it wouldn't work. If you were thinking of switching the RAM in your laptop, don't. Modding a laptop isn't like modding a PC and you will most likely break it. There is a reason noone sells custom parts for laptops...
