LGA-775 DDR3, new motherboards?
I'm noticing some LGA-775 DDR3 motherboards. Are these new
motherboards, to satisfy lots of old Core 2 Quad (LGA-775) users that want to use DDR3 memory? Or maybe I just missed them in prior searches. Thanks. |

Or maybe I just missed them in prior searches. Thanks. Mine is DDR3. 775 is the minimum in a new hardware platform unless an AMD is in order. Buying a used processor from somebody, however, can be one thing and memory another, especially if new DDR3 costs are very reasonable. For a semi-cheap result, say the difference between P4 hyperthreading Socket 478 and an Intel S775 early dual-core variant at 2.66Ghz, DDR3 or DDR22 withstanding, two physical 2.66 physical cores should still factor most for an overall smoother OS responsiveness. Lots of memory more than its type, and I'd as soon max out XP, which wasn't the case with DDR2 I recall not finding used near as readily as cheap and decent quality DDR3. The beds of these new Intel sockets are a nightmare, though, if you ever get into one to straighten pin/ contacts -- I got it to boot, but it was an extremely difficult exercise on par with writing on rice kernels. Shame, because on the low-low end of the Land Grind Array Intel offers a very aggressive processor. Very. |

Or maybe I just missed them in prior searches. Thanks. X38 and X48 was around the era where DDR3 was introduced. I got an X48 with DDR2, because I thought it would have ECC capability. Whereas with DDR3, it was unclear whether ECC worked or not. I'm not sure this article has captured the flavor all that well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets There's one NVidia enthusiast chipset here with DDR3. But the question with that one would be, what processors was it guaranteed compatible with. Some of the NVidia chipsets, weren't that "smooth" when it came to running four modules. Nothing but problems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...vidia_chipsets The trick now would be finding a used board for a reasonable price. When I bought my X48, they weren't exactly easy to find, so I had to take what I could get. Paul |

So it may be some second-rate brand that didn't sell well when it came out. |
