Do they have an AM2+ motherboard that uses ddr3 memory?

Probably a stupid question to some, but I already have spare ddr3 memory and a spare AM2+ 5200+ processor. Looking for an inexpensive path to create a new build.

Thanks in advance!

Not that I am aware of. AM2/AM2+ CPUs do not have a DDR3 memory controller. AM3 CPUs have both a DDR2 and DDR3 compatible memory controller, so they can be used in either AM2/AM2+ boards (DDR2) or AM3/AM3+ (DDR3) motherboards.

But there is no mobo that will let you use DDR3 with an AM2 CPU, it's just not possible.
