Hi im looking for a motherboard with DDR2 Ram, because i already have 2GB of DDR2 and dont have the money to get DRR3 Ram. I currently have a Dell Optiplex GX620 SFF (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/p/18593269/19549083 ).
I also have a Low Profile Sapphire Radeon 7750 (pretty nice card tbh). My budget is 200 dollars. I wanted to just buy a new motherboard and cpu, but i dont think i can do that whithout getting a new case so i was thinking one of these (http://www.amazon.com/Sentey%C2%AE-Computer-Case-Cs1-1382-Plus/dp/B00MOJIUAW/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1413644417&sr=1-5&keywords=computer+case+with+psu, http://www.amazon.com/Logisys-Corp-10-Bay-Computer-CS305BK/dp/B008CDNW6G/ref=sr_1_197?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1413645397&sr=1-197&keywords=case+with+psu, http://www.amazon.com/Sentey-Ss1-2428-Slim-Computer-Case/dp/B00MOJFTZ6/ref=sr_1_196?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1413645463&sr=1-196&keywords=case+with+psu)

I couldnt find a motherboard that supported DDR2 Ram, and offered a better cpu socket than the LGA775, Which is what i have. I am using Pentuim D940 btw. Can anyone help me? or is this just unrealistic to accomplish?

What do you wish to accomplish?
I might expect that you want a cpu upgrade.
Even the cheapest $50 G1840 is 4x the capability of your D940.

A socket 1150 motherboard can be had for $50 or so.

DDR2 ram is more expensive than DDR3.

Your case is likely not to be reusable.
It looks like it uses a BTX motherboard which is not sold any more.
It may also be using a IDE hard drive which is also not supported any more.

Lastly, your OS will be a dell oem that may not be transferrable to a new motherboard.

I suggest you look at the Lenovo outlet.
You can get most of what you want at close to your price and use your 7750.

You can probably sell your 2gb of DDR2 on ebay...

You can probably sell your 2gb of DDR2 on ebay for enough to buy an extra stick of DDR3.
