    Question About DDR2 and DDR3

    I have an DDR2 Compliant Mobo.

    I want to upgrade to an Better GPU that has DDR3 Memory.
    Will I need an Mother Board Upgrade and an GPU Upgrade???

    I am Currently Running on an EVGA 9500 GT 1 GB

    I really Want to Upgrade to the GeForce GTX 295 CO-OP FTW

    I am Just Curious if i could do this.

    EDIT:

    According to Tom's Hardware.com

    I can Run an DDR3 GPU on an DDR2 Mobo

    Re: Question About DDR2 and DDR3

    The type of memory your GPU uses has nothing to do with what kind of memory (RAM) your motherboard uses. You could pick up one of the new ATI cards that use DDR5 if you wanted.
