DDR 2 on a DDR3 board

Oh dear, I just noticed my new Asus P5Q3 Deluxe motherboard only has DDR3 slots. I think I know the answer but can someone confirm that the DDR2 I have bought :wallbash: are no use and I will now have to get DDR3 RAM and watch my wallet cry real tears?

confirmed

just return it and tell the company to credit the ddr2 price off the ddr3

or you can return the motherboard and do it the otherway around.

No use mate... one of them has to go...

here is a question; why do all asus motherboard models start with "P5"

Thanks for the confirmation. Memory goes back, lesson learned, piggy bank smashed. No idea about the P5. Nothing in the manual, sorry.

The 5 represents how many years it takes ASUS support to respond to an Email :)

Pentium 5 CPU Support :mrgreen:

probably something to due with it being the 5th generation of Pentium processors if u think about it

Pentium 3 -> pentium 4 -> pentium 5 which was renaimed to the core series

soo P for pentium 5 for 5th generation
