I have an older board that only supports DDR memory. I've read here that using better memory, i.e. DDR2, will help with OCing, so I'm considering investing in some.

So my question is will my board even be able to use DDR2+ RAM? It's a Gigabyte K8U-939, if that helps. I know that I won't be able to use the DDR2's capability, but will the board be able to throttle it back to regular DDR levels, or would I just be wasting my money?
 
DDR2 RAM cannot be used in mobos that only support DDR RAM. If you look carefully you'll see that the DDR2 notches are in a different position than DDR notches
 
Thanks for the quick reply. Now I don't even need to bother about it.
