memory confusion...

Hi

My motherboard is an Asus M4A77
as far as I know this is a DDR2 board

on the original box I have its says DDR3 OC 1800MHz on the front
its not a sticker, its actually printed on the box,

I know DDR2 and DDR3 are both 240 pin and will fit in each others slots but i'm pretty sure DDR2 will only work with DDR2 slots and the same with DDR3

I have 2 channels (blue and black slots) which i'm sure are both DDR2 as my RAM works in both sets,

the board has DDR2 OC 1200 printed next to the slots.

so is the fact the box says it supports DDR3 a mistake?

oh I thought DDR2 and 3 fit in each others slots but didn't work, ah well lol

wonder if I can kick off with Asus for selling me something that wasn't what it said it was, (i knew it was DDR2 anyway cos I reviewed it prior to purchase, not the point though)
