I have two older Dells that I am looking to upgrade by adding memory. The first has in it a 256M PC3200 DDRAM. The second has a 128M PC133 SDRAM. Can I move the PC3200 DDRAM into the box with the PC133 SDRAM? Or do I need to buy new memory for both boxes? Thanks.

Thanks for the info--very helpful even if it will cost me more money! :-)

As they do not fit in the same socket.

You have to buy new SD RAM for that unit and new DDR RAM for the other one.

Even motherboards that support both types of RAM only allow you to one or the other but not both types at the same time.

Even if you WERE able to create identical slots to the other RAM stick.

You'd have more chance of success with incense, a shaved head and bright orange robes. :D
