Asus P5K3 Deluxe Quick question

I am going to order a Asus P5K3 Deluxe. Its advertised as supporting DDR3 memory but i want to use DDR2. Will This motherboard support the DDR2 RAM?



Cheers, Matt

The P5K3 Deluxe has 4 DDR3 RAM slots, and DDR2, despite having the same number of pins is not pin-compatible with DDR3. You'd have to go to DDR3.

only says something about DDR3

He was asking about the P5k3 Deluxe; the board that you linked to, PC eye, is the P5K Deluxe; the biggest difference I see between the P5K Deluxe and the P5K3 Deluxe is that the P5K3 uses DDR3. I wasn't sure if you were recommending that board to him, so I thought I'd clarify the DDR3 exclusive thing.



EDIT: If you were looking for a board that could handle the DDR2 that you have now, but still be upgradeable to DDR3, there are a few out there, such as this one:

The P5K3 Deluxe only supports DDR3. If you want DDR2 support then get the P5K Deluxe (which is what I have as well).

Cheers people! I think I might get a Asus P5K Premium.
