AI Thread Summary
DDR 140 pin and 248 pin DIMMs may appear similar, but they have distinct differences in notch placement that prevent compatibility; a DDR module will not fit into a DDR2 socket. DDR memory modules vary in length, with DDR3 typically being around 4 inches long, while DDR1 and DDR2 are approximately 3 inches long. The notches on DDR and DDR2 modules are not aligned, differing by about 2-3 millimeters, which is crucial for ensuring proper installation in the correct sockets. Visual references from various sources, including Wiki, can sometimes be misleading, emphasizing the importance of closely examining the physical characteristics of the modules.

I am looking at photos on google for DDR 140 pin and 248 pin DIMMs and they look the same.

The both have two notches on both the right and left sides and the pins on the bottum have the same notch in the same place I think.

Am I right?
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
The notch at the bottom is not in the same place. A DDR module won't fit in a DDR2 socket.

Thanks you for the help but one thing are DDR3 memory 4 inch Long and DDR 1 and 2 memory are 3 inch Long?
 
Is it really so difficult to use google?

When I look at your pictures off DDR memory the Notch on the DDR and DDR2 are in the same place.
But on Wiki. it says DDR and DDR2 have the Notch into diferant places.

is the photos you sent me off a websitye?

Look closer at the dashed lines on AlephZero's DDR picture. The notches are not lined up exactly.
 
I see it now thanks but I did go to Wiki. and look to see if I can see how Long in inch DDr 1 and 2 are but can not find it?
 
DDR 1 and DDR 2 have not the same notches, it is up to 2-3 milimetars different.
