Hi guys and Gals,
Quick question for you i'm looking at building myself a new system, i've found a very nice Asus barebone system with AMD AM2 64 3500 CPU + a 320GB HDDfor £216. The Asus motherboard say its DDR2.
My current PC at home runs DDR (PC2700). What i was hoping to do is take the RAM out of my old PC and put it in the new system (till i can buy some DDR2). Does anyone here know if DDR will fit and work in a DDR2 slot?
Sorry i should really know this but i've not really been keeping up on PC tech for the last year (as work buy whole systems and wont let be build to spec :crying: )

Plus a PCI-Express card i can *Cough* borrow from work. then take other bits out of old pc. Will upgrade Ram, GFX and monitor later when have more money i cant afford hehe.
i can't believe all these tweaks are really all that much different in 'real life'.
