With DDRII memory module become increasingly cheaper on the market, the DDRII memory DIMM makes the perfect solution for your system. However, for some other areas where DDRII interface are not as pervasive as DDR interface, users may still run their DDR400 memory module on their system and upgrade it to DDRII667 memory module in the near future when the time is ripe.
