ddr or ddr2?

[-I-Am-Great-]

ok i am wanting a new rig but don't know if a can afford it all at once, wanted c2d but don't know if i can afford to get new ddr2 ram atm could i get a mobo that will allow me to use new c2d but still has ddr ram slot and pci-e?

 

[-I-Am-Great-]

yea but just like a temp thing, could you link me to it please. does it support both ddr and ddr2?

 

[-I-Am-Great-]

cheers man

 

[-I-Am-Great-]

does that mean with that mobo you can chose to use agp or pci-e?

 

[-I-Am-Great-]

oh obviously you couldn't use both at the same time.

oh 1 more question are like 2 of the memory slots ddr and the other 2 ddr2?

ok going to start new thread with a new rig with this mobo, everyone tell me if it's compatible

cheers

lol yes that link is already above. seems like a good option for a half upgrade

2 slots are ddr and 2 slots are ddr2 and you can only use one or the other. That still lets you have 2 gigs though.

The 4x PCI-E slot will only really drop your performance by 5% at most. Probably closer to 2 or 3% unless you have a high-end card. And the 8800s won't work at all on it of course.

It's a very good board as a kind of half way house solution to a good upgrade.

Mine is running at 300FSB with RAM at 187 and low timings. RAM is 1GB cheap dell DDR400.

That gives me 2.1Ghz out of my E6300 which does me nicely. Nice stable performance apart from that but there are issues with the Audigy 2. I finally got mine to work. The only thing wrong with my system at the moment is the dodgy RAM. That's more because it's cheap dell crap then anything else. Getting a few crashes every now and then that requires a reset. I don't think that's the boards fault though.

oh so you have the board then? are you running agp or pci-e?

1 more question, could i have 2 sticks of ddr2 ram and one stick of ddr?
