Search used motherboards, the ones sold as new are overpriced

It seems to support both ddr2 and 3 on some of the mobos on 775

So you want to change the actual mb for a new 775 one?Why?Cpu has nothing do to with ram compatibility no when it comes to form.So if you are wondering if the same cpu will work with dd3 well yes,it should

thats not what im asking tho, im looking to build a cheap nas and im looking to trade some other parts for the mobo or see if i can trade with a bit a of cash

Yep, it supports both types of RAM so you just have to find a DDR2 board. The G41 chipset isn't bad and more than likely uses DDR2(my Gigabyte G41m-something did).

guys i no longer have the old mobo it was broken

Well first aim for a mb and thet search for cpu support list for that specific mb no matter the ram type.If the mb is compatible with what cpu you have you are good to go

ik but i already have ddr2

[nanowatt]

ik but i already have ddr2

Then find one with ddr 2

LGA 775 supports DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 ofc not all mobos.

Just look for a board that says its DDR2, and if there is any doubt go to the manufactures webpage and search for that board to see its specifications. So like my board(Gigabyte G41M-ES2H), if i wanted to check to see if it was DDR2, I would look here: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3468#ov

thanks everyone for the help

Pretty easy, the majority of 775 boards were DDR2. Mostly late model and high end boards were DDR3.

Its right in the board specs for type of RAM. Just run the part number through google when you find a good deal.
