[Solved] Intel pentium d 820 work with ddr3

Hello,

I have a Intel Pentium D 820 and was wondering if I can install it on a newer MOBO which uses DDR3 Memory. My MOBO only supports DDR2 4 ghz and would love to get DDR3 8ghz.

Not sure of the 4ghz or the 8ghz thing, but the processor should work in any socket 775 motherboard.

Unless you are increasing the amount of ram from say 4gb to 8gb, you will not notice any significant difference between DDR2 and DDR3.

How about this one...

MSI G41M-P26 Socket 775 G41 Motherboard
The MSI G41M-P26 Socket 775 G41 Motherboard supports Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors in the LGA775 pacakge. This board supports up to 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM, SATA II at 3.0 Gb/s and MSI's M-Flash technology. MSI’s M-Flash has a double advantage which doesn’t need extra components and secondly, all your BIOS data will be saved in the USB drive. The MSI G41M-P26 Socket 775 G41 Motherboard features MSI's Active Phase Switching; APS Technology is an intelligent design that helps to save energy on MSI’s mainboards. The MSI G41M-P26 Socket 775 G41 Motherboard offers reliability and extended features at an affordable price.

Thanks for the quick response to all...

I'm really looking to see if the ddr3 will work with my CPU and a new MOBO??? Or does the Pentium D 820 only work with DDR2? I would love to use DDR3 with my chipset if possible.

Thanks for the help...
