My OLD HP MB supports DDR2 667 RAM (only 4 GB now) - Win 7 32 Bit - - - - My newer Win 10 64 Bit HP Burnt The Heck Up It "used" DDR PC3 Knowing only faster RAM will not speed up my system - Can the present OLD MB handle this added or replacing the OLD DDR2?

  • The pin placement is different between each iteration of DDR memory. Unless the motherboard supports both DDR2 and DDR3, upgrading to DDR3 will not work.

You can't replace DDR2 with DDR3. They are 'similar' form factors but the physical pin out and electrical properties are different.



There's also a reasonable chance that a machine old enough to still use DDR2 may not support more ram, and depending on the configuration, you'd need to scrounge up higher capasity sticks of DDR2 rather than just adding on.

            Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

            Image
            0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
