DDR4 or DDR5?

How to select the right memory generation for your motherboard, processor and target capacity.

MEMORY SELECTION GUIDE

Start with platform support.

DDR4 and DDR5 have different electrical and mechanical designs and cannot be interchanged. Check the exact motherboard and processor specification before comparing module prices or advertised speeds.

Then review supported capacity per slot, channel population rules and BIOS requirements. A module rated for a higher data rate may operate at a lower speed in a fully populated system.

Three checks before you request a quote.
