You may be able to find DDR2 boards compatible with your CPU. If you want to use DDR3, you will have to upgrade your CPU too.

The old Pentium-D is a slow and horrible power hog so I would strongly recommend ditching it even if you could find a board with DDR3 for it. You could get an AMD A6, motherboard and 4GB RAM for around $150 (~9k) if you are on a really tight budget, ~$200 (12k) for an IB Pentium, LGA1155 motherboard and 4GB RAM if you want to stick with Intel. Either one should be much faster than your old Pentium-D.
