DDR3 - 240pin vs DDR2 - 240pin

[renegeek]

I'm wondering if i get DDR3 240pin, and put it into a DDR2 motherboard... will it work???

Is DDR2 vs DDR3, the same thing, just higher clock speeds?

(both of these ?s are the same...) just wondering if i order this memory, and i get a ddr2 mobo, will it work?

Nope. They use physically different slots, and require different memory controllers.
