Nowadays not all rams, for example PC3200 ram are backward compatible for mobo supporting PC2100. Why is that so? I used to have 2 pieces of 512MB PC3200 ram, one of which when i slot it to my old mobo it wont boot.


here is the screenshot from cpuz for the ram that can be used in my old mobo:



And this is the one which cant be used in my old mobo:



so the thing is how am i suppose to know if the ram that i want to buy in the shop is backward compatible?
