Can ddr4 ram fit in ddr3?

DDR
DDR
Double Data Rate (DDR), also known as DDR1, is the second generation of Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM). As its name implies, double data rate refers to its ability to read and write data on both the rising and falling of the system clock to achieve nearly twice the bandwidth of single data rate (SDR) SDRAM.

4 is not backward-compatible with DDR3 so a DDR4 DIMM will not fit on a DDR3 DIMM slot. Not only is the key notch of each DDR generation different (please refer to Figure 1 above), but the DDR4 pin size and arrangement is different from DDR3.

Will all ddr3 ram fit?
One thing to keep in mind is that memory needs to be the same type - memory modules are not forward or backward compatible in terms of generation types so DDR3 will not work in DDR2
DDR2
Double Data Rate 2 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DDR2 SDRAM) is a double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) interface. It superseded the original DDR SDRAM specification, and was itself superseded by DDR3 SDRAM (launched in 2007).

Does all ram fit in all motherboards?
Since each type of memory has different notch locations (which are important for installation), different memory technologies aren't compatible with each other. Motherboards are generally only able to support one type of memory technology.
