Hi

Recently looking in buying a new mother board for an old pc (Not that old but still old), I have been looking into the options and found a motherboard that supports DDR2 as well as DDR3. My question is would the motherboard support these 2 different rams running together?

More Info:

Asus P5KC

Memory Specifications:

2 x DIMM, Max. 4 GB, DDR3 1333(O.C.)/1066/800 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel memory architecture
4 x DIMM, max. 8GB, DDR2 1066*/800 / 667 MHz, non-ECC, un-buffered memory
Dual channel memory architecture
*The chipset officially supports the memory frequency up to DDR3 1066MHz/DDR2 800. Due to the tuning by ASUS exclusive technology, this motherboard natively supports up to DDR3 1333/DDR2 1066MHz. Please refer to www.asus.com or user manual for Memory QVL

Can it or not?

~Thanks
 
Solution
You can use only one type of RAM at a time. You can't mix DDR3 and DDR2 together to run at same time. Pl make sure to read the QVL list on supported Memory types to read more important instructions.
