I have DDR2 for memory.Now,I know DDR3+ will not work,that is a given.But,is it the same on video cards? ie: cards with DDR3 memory will NOT work in my PC?? It has to be DDR2 memory on the card,correct? Sorry if this is a dunce question.

    that is a solid question actually.

    as long as your motherboard supports the PCI-Express version that the video card is, the type of memory on the video card does not matter. it can be GDDR2, GDDR3, GDDR5 and will work fine if your motherboard uses DDR2 or DDR3

    O,really.So,I could get a card that has GDDR5(saw it on TD site) and it will work,even tho my puter takes DDR2 memory.Cool.Thanks.

    Yes. The GPU memory has nothing to do with the RAM used by the mobo (in this case).
