Can a Phenom II 955 work with DDR2?

[BS Dave]

As title - mate wants to upgrade but he's as tight as.

We've persuaded him to get a 955 (he hates overclocking but is ok with the unlocked muli and it'll mostly be for games)

He thinks he can save a wedge by using DDR2 and a cheap motherboard.

Can it be done??

but are those just the ones that let you use DDR3? dual memory type ddr2/ddr3 boards?

thanks for these replies fellas, must admit i forgot about this thread for a bit. he has only 2 gigs of DDR2 so would probably want to just gets 2x2gig sticks...of either DDR2 or DDR3 depending on which board he goes for.
