    Hey guys I have a quick question, I occidentally ordered the wrong type of memory ram for my aunt's desktop. The desktop use PC 3200 DDR1 and I ordered pc 3200 DDR2, is this ddr2 backward compatible with ddr1?

    I dont think its compatible, so I am about to contact the seller and return it, so I wanted to ask here and make sure before I send it back.
