ddr/ddr2

[harry18]

what is the difference between ddr and ddr2, the prices dont really seem to vary, what would best suit my mobo http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=60080

EDIT: can you tell me if i need a sound card for this mobo aswell?

board has sound and will only support 184pin ddr memory

 

[harry18]

ok, thanks.

ddr2 is faster, and newer, unfortunetely no socket 478 motherboards support DDR2, which is why i'm going LG775 in the near future..

 

[TheGr8schlotzky]

i guess it seems your question was answered, but yes, 184-pin DDR is the only ram supported by 478's

 

[harry18]

pc3200 DDR has the same performance of pc4200 DDR2

DDR has 184 pins and DDR2 has 240 pins (has lower voltage too)
