| 445539 | 2006-04-10 11:13:00 | Hey everyone... Just a quick question. www.ascent.co.nz That motherboard... Does it support DDR2? I dunno if this a stupid question or not. But I always thought that it needed to say under the specifications if it supports DDR2 or not.. But then I checked all the latest "socket 939" motherboards for AMD... (Well, I actually only checked the MSI ones) and found that none of them say DDR2... So I wonder maybe it DOES support DDR2, but it doesn't need to say it does. Please help me ASAP as my friend was planning on buying this motherboard along with a socket 939 processor. But he has 2gig of DDR2 ram sitting at home. And it would be a shame to connect it all up and find the ram doesn't work with this awsome motherboard. Cheers Hollow |

| 445542 | 2006-04-10 11:29:00 | Soooo... Does anyone know of any motherboards that are AMD 64 Socket 939, PCI-e (with crossfire) and have DDR2? Cheers Hollow |

| 445543 | 2006-04-10 12:14:00 | Ignore that last post, as I have just found out that there are no motherboards that support DDR2 that are AMD... Well, not yet anyway... So now.. I need to find a motherboard, that supports intel, with DDR2, and has more than 1 ide slot, and has crossfire enabled.... anyone know of any motherboards with all that stuff? Cheers Hollow |

| 445544 | 2006-04-10 20:02:00 | Well I found the following boards from Asus... not too sure whether you will get them in New Zealand though but I'm sure you can get a supplier to import them for you... based on the fact that you're after a "Crossfire" board I can only assume that your "pockets are phat" and money isn't an issue. 1)P5WDG2-WS (www.asus.com) 2)P5WD2-E Premium (www.asus.com) Basically at the moment you're looking for a board based on the i975X chipset. As you stated before there are no AMD boards that have DDR2 support and Crossfire... at least not yet. cheers chiefnz |

Its ok now, my friend has decided to buy some new ram, that supports amd (CAUSE AMD ROCK) and sell his DDR2 ram Many Thanks Hollow I personally do not think the AM2 will be out in the next two weeks and if it was by any chance then I am also sure it won't be available in Kiwiland at that time. What do you think is a normal motherboard price in $NZ? Just curious there. |
