DDR memory in a Core 2 Duo Board

[Blekk]

Hi,

I want to upgrade my PC as some components are getting pretty old, i.e. the mobo, cpu and memory. I want to get a Core 2 duo CPU and motherboard, only I don't want to have to buy the RAM, cpu and mobo all at once.

So my question is can ddr be in a ddr2 core 2 duo mobo?

Thanks

You may be able to find a board with two sets of slots - one for each type.

NO.

Please read the guides: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic65114.html

Wow somebody is pissed off today Tedster.

Thanks for the guide though. But I believe I have seen some boards that accept both, I just thought there may have been a list.

This board supports ddr(2 slots) and ddr2(2 slots) as well as both pci-e and agp.
Might be what you're looking for.

Thankyou, that is exactly will be what I am looking for, I just can't check it out right now.

You are a lot more helpful than Tedster, thanks vnf4ultra.

I had a 775Dual-VSTA that is much the same as that newer ASRock. It worked just fine. I'm still using a ECS P4M800 Pro M that also supports DDR and DDR2 but only AGP (and S3 onboard puke: .) It also works fine.
found it, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135027

I had the same board as Mirob, actually I still have it, but its now got a Pentium D in it as I took the C2D that was in it and slapped it in a new Gigabyte board. I had no major problems with it, and it was/is stable - just don't expect to overclock much.

Ok,

Thanks for all the help everyone (except Tedster).

I can't have a look at them right now as I am at work, and I forgot to last night (duh). But I will look tonight.

Thankyou.
