I need to purchase a motherboard supporting both ddr2 and ddr3 memory chips.
The configuration i need for the mother board is:
)Core2duo + Core I Series(i3,i5,i7) support.
)Sata Hdd Support.
)PCI Xpress GPU Support(Both ddr2 and ddr3 based).
)Support for using both ddr2 and ddr3 ram chips simultaneously.

*Mostly Intel based Board preferred*

***My budget is Rs 3000-Rs10000***

I do not even think it is possible because, Intel Core 2 Duo processor is based in the LGA 775 socket, Core i5 and i3 in LGA 1155 socket, and Core i7 in LGA 1366/1156 socket. So multiple, support of processor is not possible.

All motherboard comes with SATA ports. And also DDR3/DDR5 memory interface for the GPU is local to the GPU only. It has got nothing to do with the motherboard. Just you need to have a x16 lane to install a GPU(DDR2/DDR3/DDR5).

After doing a bit of Google search, I found this-

MSI Unveils DDR2+DDR3 Combo Motherboard




but the processors it supports is outdated and hence it is useless buying it






anyways if you are wanting to run COre i series processors its useless to buy such a board as they dont support anything below DDR3 RAM. DDR 2 RAM is UNSUPPORTED by Core i series processors

First of all the core 2 duo chipset is difference from i series. Its lga 775 and these under 1155 or 1366. Mb can support both type of ram but either core 2 duo or i series fix what you need i or c2d

GFX card ram type have nothing to do with mobo ram type if you are talking about compatibility - yopu can use a DDR2/GDDR3/GDDr5 based gfx card on a mobo which supports DDr2 ram and same is true for mobos which support DDR3 ram.

If you are talking about a mobo which supports LGA775 based C2D cpus along with DDR2+DDR3 ( you can only use either DDr2 or DDr3 - they will not work together ) then you should get the Gigabyte GA-G41M-Combo mobo - it has Intel G41 chipset and supports every latest gfx cards ;-)
