I'm getting a few old computers to take apart for parts soon. Most of them are defintely using DDR2 RAM, but there is the possibility that one or two of them are using DDR RAM. Since these are quite old, the manuals have since been lost. Is it possible to tell DDR and DDR2 RAM apart visually, and if so how?
