is my motherboard compatible with ddr3 ram?

[leovillz_22]

hi guys, just a quick question, i have an asus b250m-a motherboard and a pentium 4600, im just asking if my board will be compatible with a ddr3 ram, im just using the pc for internet browsing and movies, it currently has my 4gb ddr4 ram, but i need the ddr4 ram on my main pc now and ddr3 rams are cheap here at my place

No it supports DDR4 ram

i do get that it "supports" ddr4 ram so if i put a ddr3 ram in the board will it work?,

That cpu can support ddr3L 1.35v memory but that motherboard as said has only ddr4 slots. 100 series motherboards were the last to support ddr3/ddr3L.

Ddr3 and 4 have different notches, they wont fit each other.
