No.

I dont think you can change from DDR2 to DDR3. Something to do with pins I think? Correct me if im wrong.

You can't change DDR2 to DDR3 and there are no motherboards that are compatible with both. So no.

 

[Nolan Middlemas]

Ya Im not sure why you should be doing that if you dont know...

The pins are completely different and they also use different storage methods. Most processors can't be used with different types of RAM either.

Correct. The actual physical layout of the pins is different, so even if you tried, you couldn't put the RAM in the DIMM slot without cutting the DIMM slot or making a notch in the RAM module. And then it still wouldn't work.

Ya thats what I thought. Different pins. They wont fit unless you smash it in there which in that case your DDR wont work -_-

Well, I have been looking for motherboards for my old PC, and i have found motherboards made by ASrock that can use either DDR2 or DDR3 memory. Just not both at the same time.

Here is an example:

I know, its an old mobo, but still. Just proving a point.

But in response to the original post: Can you post your current motherboard make and model, and post the one he wants to swap?

Hm, that's interesting. I haven't seen one of those before. But are there any processors that support both DDR2 and DDR3?

Good question. I searched the intel website for information about which memory my old intel core 2 duo is compatible with and did not find any information. I guess it just depends if its compatible with the motherboard and chipset.
