Core 2 Duo with DDR

[monkeysmith]

Can you run a Core 2 Duo with PC2700 Ram? I know I may not get the full features of the cpu, but will it run and will it be ok, or do I need ddr2?

I plan to make a stage by stage upgrade, so hoping to keep my old ram for a while.

Thanks

Currently have a 2600xp, looking to upgrade to a Dual core, the ASRock 775Dual-VSTA board has two slots for both DDR and DDR2.

Just needed to make sure i could still run the computer with the ram i have, can then look to upgrade that in a few months.

so could u run it on some pc3200 sticks?

According to the reports, have a read. Not much difference either in performance.
