Question about motherboards that can use both SD & DDR ram
Hello everyone. I am in the market for a new computer and I have various things picked out but the motherboard is the one thing I'm stuck on. The computer I am using right now is fairly old and wouldn't be worth upgrading but I'd like to swap out the 2 sticks of 256mb SD-ram out of it. I am interested in getting a motherboard that can use the SD-ram I already have and later, when I have the money, switch to DDR-ram. I've seen several SD/DDR motherboards that are at good prices but they don't have an agp slot that's 8x. I'm going to be getting a Powercolor 9600 Pro video card with 256mb of DDR from my friend for super cheap and it would be nice to get the most out of it without having to buy a new motherboard later when i want to switch to DDR. If anyone has seen a SD/DDR motherboard with an agp slot thats 8x or know where I could find one, please post a message or send me a message. I would appreciate it. Thanks
UPDATE: I've been searching for just a normal SD-ram motherboard that has a 8x agp slot and haven't been able to find one of them either. Is there some kind of collision between the two or is there simply no demand for motherboards that have 8x agp slots and can use SD-ram?
