SDRAM has 168 pins, DDRRAM has 184 pins. So no.

click on the ram page, itll tell u what ram u have currently.

That wont help much for mobos featuring DDR and SDR memory slots

I guess I will just have to count the pins on one of my sticks or try to find my PC manual for the specs.

No need to count... look for the (number and location of) the notches:
