Detailed explanation-1: -Since each type of memory has different notch locations (which are important for installation), different memory technologies aren’t compatible with each other. Motherboards are generally only able to support one type of memory technology.
Detailed explanation-2: -RAM is directly connected to your computer’s motherboard, allowing for the fastest speeds possible.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your motherboard has a range of RAM speeds it can work with, but most RAM is backward compatible. That means if you accidentally buy RAM that’s faster than your motherboard can handle, the RAM will just run at a slower speed.
Detailed explanation-4: -Motherboards in modern computers support DDR4 RAM. DDR4 shouldn’t be confused with DDR3, the previous generation of SDRAM. They’re not interchangeable, and you can’t replace (for example) 8GB of DDR3 with 16GB of DDR4. Computers use a type of RAM called SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory).
