Motherboard compatibility

[OPAL]

I have a simple question as I am going for an upgrade, will the new motherboards that come with DDR2 support. will DDR ram run on them for e.g I have OCZ 1GB Ram DDR with motherboards such as:


1. Intel D-965RYCK
2. Intel D-975 XBXLKR
3. ASUS M2N-E

support DDR ram

No, you need a board that supports both DDR1 and DDR2 if you really want to run your old sticks. The boards you linked to are all DDR2.

Here's an example of one of the DDR1/DDR2 boards

Note the two different slots...184 pin for DDR1 and 240 pin for DDR2.
