Nope, think of RAM like a KV. Only certain KVs are compatible with certain motherboards. You'll have to get DDR1 RAM to have your motherboard be able to read it. I recommend getting a new computer because 2 DDR1 sticks would be about 80 dollars, and those are near the cheapest. You can get a nice DDR2/3 system for around $300.

There's more things to consider than just DDR. There's also density, and MHz speed.

But think about it, you could sell your computer for at least $100 (most computer back from 2005 are even worth that much still), save $80 on buying the RAM and spend about $120 out of pocket for a computer that is x3 better.
