Will i be able to use the one ddr and one of the sdram sticks in my new computer.

or will my pc jus go on fire?

my m8 said it will work, but hes usally wrong

most likely it will not work. DDR and SDRAM use different sockets. However, some motherboards (ECS is the only one I can think of right now...) had both types of memory sockets. If all your memory sockets are the same configuration, then you CANNOT mix and match. It just won't fit, and you'll break something if you try
