Is there a board that has both PC133 and DDR slots?

[beer]

I think I'm going to need a new mobo and CPU now. But I don't want to buy new RAM now - save it for later. Is there a board that can support both types of RAM?

 

[predatorprey]

ummm no.

i don't know why just know there isn't one out there that i have seen.

yeah i know pcchips makes one. wanna say like an 817 model. the quality is probably poor but perhaps im being prejudgemental. ill see if i can find a link. i wanted to say asus makes one also but cant remember off hand. i know that pcchips does though. 2 ddr, 2 pc133.

I'm fairly sure one of the Asus boards has both... I think it is the A7A266. Lemme double check...
edit: The A7A266 does have SDR and DDR RAM slots. look here about half way down

whoo what a guess looky here:

look at the 817m.

asus, 2 ddr 3 sdrams. probably a much nicer board than the pcchips, but more expensive. uses the ali chipset.

we are talkin athlon cpus right? asus makes a 370 socket one but i just assumed amd. it's the only way to go

Go to www.msi.com.tw At the top, you'll see an ad that says "Strongest DDR ever". Click on it, and it'll take you to msi's ddr boards. They have two that have 3 DDR slots and 2 SDRAM slots. One of them is for PIII's and the other is for AMD's.

Wow, I wasn't aware that intel supports DDR!

Intel supports DDR (or should I say QDR?) with Rambus.

The DDR MSI board uses the VIA Apollo Pro 266 chipset. I believe that Intel (or is that VIA only?) is releasing a DDR SDRAM chipset for P4 some time next year.

Has anyone tried MSI K7MG Pro (MS-6375) with ALi chipset? This is the one with both DDR and SDR RAM support.
