compatable core2duo motherboard with dd3 support

[abhijeet2021]

Hi

seems like my old motherboard is taking a downhill. Processor is core2duo 2.66 which is good condition. Need to upgrade to a motherboard which got ddr3 support. Please guide me with links.

^^ tell us your budget ??

if you are looking for a cheap G41 mobo opt for Gigabyte G41MT-S2P around ~2.4k

Problem with C2D is you can get the G41 as cheap solution but they only Support DDR3 1066 which is slower than "standard" 1333. But it wont make a noticeable difference though. Also it support max 4 GB Only so don't waste buying more.

^^ G41 chipset supports memory upto 8GB

and the standard 1333 Mhz speed can be achieved by Ocing the mem modules

Intel® G41 Express Chipset

8 GB supported for DDR2 & 4 GB supported for DDR3

Intel® G41 Express Chipset

8 GB supported for DDR2 & 4 GB supported for DDR3

the info on Intel's website may be wrong coz every G41 mobo with DDr3 support out there supports 8GB of Ram

Check out the Spec page of GA-G41MT-S2P

2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory

or Asus P5G41T-M LE

2 x DIMM, Max. 8 GB, DDR3 1333(O.C.)/1066/800 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory

Biostar G41 HD

Support Dual Channel DDR3 1333(OC)/1066/800 MHz
2 x DDR3 DIMM Memory Slot
Max. Supports up to 8GB Memory

So we can say G41 mobos with DDr3 supports upto 8GB mem

Weird to see Intel's own page posting wrong info then lol

^^ yep, they might have overlooked this as this a ultra low end product by their standard now or they might be to busy with SB and SB-E cpu/chipsets
