The problem here is users that installed standard 1.5v-1.65v DDR3 in these 1.35v DDR3L slots were slowly frying the Memory controller which kills the CPU.

DDR3L is physically the same as standard DDR3 but it uses the same amount of voltage as DDR4.

As a rule, 2666 MHz RAM is fine for most, and generally, you don’t have to go over more than 3000 MHz.

DDR4 does offer some slight advantages in performance, although, for the majority of gamers, DDR3 and DDR4 won’t offer too much of a difference in terms of the quality of gameplay.

I have a Dell OptiPlex 755 running the IP/Insider Preview version of Win10 but it is a 'standard' or mini tower and takes only the standard profile cards. Can you use a ddr3 gpu in a ddr2 pc? Yes, the DDR3 memory/RAM on the video card is not related to the DDR2 RAM on the motherboard. If you are only wanting to upgrade the RAM, you can put another stick or a larger stick of RAM to slightly increase the performance of the computer. In other words, you can't use the newer DDR4 memory in an older DDR3 memory slot. DDR4 isn't bacwards compatible with DDR3. As to why they didn't call it DDR4 instead of DDR5 falls to the same place as why Microsoft went from Windows 8 to Windows 10.
