    Hello yvesj and welcome to the forums

    The hard drive and CPU that you use will work regardless of the RAM you have (be it DDR3 or DDR2). You just have to make sure that your CPU is the same socket as your motherboard and that your motherboard supports the type of RAM you go for. Post your specs and we can have a look over them for you

    Tom

    Re: ddr2 and ddr3 mobo

    now i have 2 brand new pc that i build last fall .
    now i am only using the one that am on now .
    so i want to use the secound computer brand new .
    put the new board in and the other 2 parts in .
    now the gardrive in it is a wd 750 black a really good one .
    really my cpu is good for the ddr2 board here is what it is [amd athlon 11x2 270 .
    so i could use it and not buying the one i send you the link or name .
    so i will have a faster computer ddr2 plus a ddr3 in the same computer .
    so why build a complite new pc from the case up at least 800.00 in parts

    Re: ddr2 and ddr3 mobo

    The mobo you specify doesn't support DDR3. I'm confused because you talked about using both DDR2 and DDR3 on the same mobo. I don't think you can do that.

    In addition, using Vista 32 bit (or any 32 bit OS) limits you to 4 Gb of RAM. To go higher, you would need a 64 bit OS. Note that the mobo you specify has a 8 Gb limit.
