P5B-VM pc3200

Alright so my friend is buying the P5B-VM motherboard and it says it's DDR2 800 (6400) standard. I was wondering if it is able to support DDR2 3200?

Yes, but why DDR2 3200?

 

[peterhuang913]

thats half the speed and its not worth it to be cheap

Well he currently has an AMD 64 3000+ and he really wants to upgrade his processor. The store doesn't currently have any good AMD proc available (in socket 939) so he is buying a new motherboard that supports intel and he doesn't wanna spend the money for new RAM also.

they sell DDR2 3200? or is it DDR 3200? I don't think socket 939 uses DDR2 memory.

skt939 is ddr

 

[b1gapl]

There is DDR2-400 (PC2-3200).
