i was going to make fun of this box but you know what, if those memory slots aren't some kind of pride flag then i'll eat my hat

oh i forgot to mention that the reason the notches differ is because this is a "bridge board" that takes both DDR2 and 3, though not at the same time. a fun fact: this exists for every single type of memory in history. like maybe not DIPs to SIPPs (which barely happened anyway), but SIMMs to DIMMs, SDR to DDR, DDR1 to 2, DDR2 to 3, DDR3 to 4, and it's still happening now with DDR 4 and 5.

literally every time there has been a sea change in RAM form factors, boards were released that took both types for the very specific person who's worried about buying the wrong RAM or wanting to use the stuff they already have. it is almost always a bad idea.

It's true, the second motherboard I ever bought was an ECS K7S5A, a bridge board that supported both SDR and DDR modules. It wasn't great and had no overclocking support (important at the time for a teenage nerd with an Athlon XP) but it got the job done and allowed me to use the dirt cheap used PC133 modules I bought off a friend until I could afford to upgrade to DDR.
