Memory can ddr2 memory be installed on a motherboard that specs say "DDR 333/400 MHz dual channel"? Motherboard is a Foxconn C51GU01. If it can be done will it be an improvement over the DDR 400MHz memory I have now? OS is XP sp3.

Info from the manual:

Memory configurations

You can install 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1GB DDR SDRAM DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

• Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pairs

using the recommended configurations.

• Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB

(Front Side Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB

synchronization table on the next page.

• This motherboard does not support double-sided 16-bit DDR DIMMs.

• Do not create a three-DIMM configuration in dual-channel mode. The
third DIMM is ignored in the dual-channel operation.

Hi friends,

No, you can't use the DDR2 Memory. you just need to use DDR-1 .You motherboard suppor is DDR - 400 and 333 MHz; dual channel support up to 4GB Memory.if you want to check any other information related to *********** board Click LINK

Hi,
your motherboard model supports only DDR type of RAM memory modules.
The details are:
Memory Type: DDR - 400 and 333 MHz; dual
Max Memory: channel support
Memory Slots: Up to 4 GB
Four slots

I hope this solution is helpful to you

Dear Sir

*********** Board is :Foxconn P4M800P7MA-RS2
Max Supported RAM : 2GB DDR2
Supported RAM speed: 533 MHz • 400 MHz • 333 MHz • 266 MHz. I think it deffinately solves your problem.If you have any problem post your comment with more information.

Good luck

thank you for choosing Fixya

MPN P4M800P7MA-RS2
Supported RAM speeds 533 MHz • 400 MHz • 333 MHz • 266 MHz

According to the specs of this motherboard, it supports DDR 333/400 and DDR2 533/400 memory modules. It does not support DDR2 667 memory modules.
DDR 333/400 memory modules can be installed in the yellow slots, whereas DDR2 533/400 memory modules can be installed in the blue slots.
Only one type of memory modules (either DDR or DDR2) can be used. Mixing of different types of memory modules is not supported.

this is the ram specs.

102GGC:
Support for DDR2 533MHz and DDR2 400MHz DIMMs
Support for up to 2GB of system memory

here are the specifications of *********** board go through it...
Processor Support Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, Intel® Celeron® D processor and Intel® Celeron® processor in the 478-pin package
Note: It is important to verify supported processors before using this Intel® desktop board. Supported front side bus speed 800, 533, and 400 MHz Integrated Graphics Intel® 865G Chipset with Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 Chipset Intel® 865G Chipset AGP Connector AGP 3.0 (4X & 8X Speed 1.5 and 0.8 Volt Only) Memory Type Dual Channel DDR 400 MHz (PC3200), 333 MHz (PC2700), and 266 MHz (PC2100).
Note: Be sure to review important memory and system bus speed considerations before using this Intel® Desktop Board Max Memory Capacity of up to 4 GB Memory Slots 4 DDR DIMM Sockets Slots 6 PCI
So it will support DDR2 and you can upgrade upto 4GB...

Hi Dave,
Foxconn 945G7MA-8KS2
Memory (Page 10 in user manual).
This motherboard includes four 240-pin slots with 1.8 V for DDR2. These slots support 256 Mb, 512 Mb and 1 Gb DDR2 technologies for x8 and x16 devices, and support maximum memory bandwidth of 8.5GB/s using DDR2 533 memory,
10.7GB/s using DDR2 667 in Dual-Channel interleaved mode, You must install at least one memory bank to ensure normal operation.

I did find others for less on the surface. Untill you go to check out & get slammed for shipping (ground), falls between $4.99 to $9.99. I use Corsair myself. Never had a problem.

Have more questions, feel free to ask.

Your board can only handle 2Gb of total memory.
2 x DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs, Dual Channel DDR2 533/667/800.
Check your manual.
