Nope, think of RAM like a KV. Only certain KVs are compatible with certain motherboards. You'll have to get DDR1 RAM to have your motherboard be able to read it. I recommend getting a new computer because 2 DDR1 sticks would be about 80 dollars, and those are near the cheapest. You can get a nice DDR2/3 system for around $300.

There's more things to consider than just DDR. There's also density, and MHz speed.

Yeah but my laptop is only running 512 mb of ram and everyone is telling me that is the biggest speed factor

But think about it, you could sell your computer for at least $100 (most computer back from 2005 are even worth that much still), save $80 on buying the RAM and spend about $120 out of pocket for a computer that is x3 better.
