Need help identifying RAM

I need help identifying what Type of Ram this is. The board is a decade old Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe and I've been told it uses DDR2 Ram, but I think my idiot brother bought DDR3 Ram and stuck it on and broke the damn thing.

All I can identify is that it is manufactured by Kingston, that's all. Maybe  PC sage can tell just by looking at it?

Ps, would I be able to stick any more RAM on, as there's a lot of unoccupied real estate on this board and I kind of want to see what it can be pushed to?

how can you even put ddr3 on a ddr2 mobo

I'm also wondering; they aren't backwards compatible, and the notch has been moved to prevent insertion into older slots.

 

Have a look at this to help you.

EDIT: It indeed is a DDR2 RAM

You have to try really hard to force DDR3 onto a DDR2 board. 

 

Googling the motherboard reveals that it would be DDR2 in it currently. Also the voltage spec does say 1.8V. Which would indicate stock DDR2 voltage.

Ok, thanks for the help guys. I'll probably need to upgrade to a better MOBO as I've been told the Core i3 I've ordered is incompatible with this MOBO and DDR2 Ram.
