Several Windows 7 laptops are having their memory upgraded from 2 GB to 4 GB. Some of the laptops use DDR2 and some use DDR3. The memory purchased for the upgrade was all DDR3. What will most likely happen during this upgrade?
The DDR2 notebooks will work with DDR3 provided the DDR2 is installed in the first DIMM positions.
The DDR3 notebooks are the only ones that will accept the new memory
The DDR2 memory will fit in the DIMM positions and work
The DDR3 memory will not work correctly unless the CAS (CL) values are the same
Some notebooks will require a RAM converter that will allow the DDR3 Ram to work in the DDR2 systems
Dual Channel is a feature unique to:
RAM
CPUs
