DDR and GDDR2/3

[cclub]

I was just wondering what is the main difference between these for a video card, does a normal mootherboard have to specifically support GDDR2/3 in order to use it?

For an example i'll use this video card: XFX GeForce 6200 / 256MB DDR2 - now can i use this in my normal Asus P4V8X Socket 478 motherboard? Basically is it backward compatible with just DDR.

Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated.

yes it'll work fine. The motherboard has nothing to do with the type of memory used on the video card...that is determined by the video chipset itself. As long as the card is the proper interface (agp, pci, pci-e) for your mobo then that's all that matters.
