DDR2, DDR3, i need help?

Question

i'm getting this mother board:
http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?product_id=13989
what do you think about it?
it say's it supports DDR3, does this mean that it only supports DDR3 or it also supurt DDR2. i mean can i also have DDR2 RAMs in it?

one more question:
if i get a motherboard which suports both DDR2 and DDR3, can i have difrent RAMs of each or i have to have, either DDR2 or DDR3. i mean can i have a DDR2 and a DDR3 at the same time?

Answer 1

On your first question :

It seems the motherboard only supports DDR3 RAM. No exceptions. You can't use your DDR2 sticks here.

For your second question :

Most likely no, if I remember correctly on certain motherboard that support both DDR1 and DDR2 RAMs. You can't use both RAM types. It's because they have seriously different speeds and usually you will have stability problems using them.

If the unlikely event that it will work, your DDR1 RAM will bottleneck the DDR2 RAM because the DDR1 RAM is a lot slower.

Answer 2

severe overall performance DDR2 is greater valuable than low-value DDR3 via diminish latencies. Bandwidth-sensible, sure DDR3 is faster. yet that's in keeping with guy made benchmarks. In actual-worldwide circumstances, the ameliorations are negligible.

Answer 3

I don't see anything about it supporting DDR2.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3_SDRAM.

So, if you have a motherboard that supports both, then yes, I expect it will have slots for each. No, I don't think it would be safe to assume that it could support both at the same time.

Answer 4

This board supports DDR3 only. If you are looking for one that supports both, look for the ASUS P5KC, it will support both, but only one type at a time.
