No. DDR2 is a different specification than DDR. If I remember correctly, DDR won't even fit into a DDR2 slot.

 

[peterhuang913]

no ddr2 and ddr uses different slots

ya the reason behind that is... DDR 2 typically has more pins than DDR.

 

[j12]

yeah ddr2 won't fit in a ddr slot and vice versa.

I dont know anything about that but maby the board had 2 DDR sockets and 2 DDR2 sockets... you'll have to look into it.
