Aren't ddr ddr2 ddr3 incompatible? different notch placement???

Haven't seen any ddr3 yet, but I know that's true for the other two.

IBM did some strange stuff in the old days.
I had a computer that had simms with the same chips, but wouldn't boot.
Legend had it that they changed the contents of the configuration chip
to render them incompatible to keep all the upgrade $$$ to themselves.

I guess I'll hang onto the dd2-ones and keep trying 'em on different
boards, just in case
