Wanted to replace an Athlon 64 3500+ with Athlon x4 630 on a N68-gs which does support am3 socket cpu-s but has 2 slots of ddr2 (max)1066 mhz memory. I'm currently using 2x2gb of 667 mhz ones and a seller on amazon said "it's not compatible since this is a ddr3 chip". I checked on asrock's cpu support list and this cpu is listed there. If anyone has more info that would be appreciated.

Multi-million dollar Cheyenne supercomputer auction ends with $480,085 bid — buyer walked away with 8,064 Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs, 313TB DDR4-2400 ECC RAM, and some water leaks
Is the AMD Athlon x4 630 compatible with ASRock N68-GS?

@GhislainG Well i thought that's what forums are for, to get more user experience oriented answers (not trying to be hostile) 
Just that at the amazon listing I asked the same question and a couple of aswers were that it's a ddr3 chip, or that since it's a quad core cpu it only supports ddr3 memory. And since this is a reputable forum i thought why not get a third opinion.

Most people use DDR3 memory, but DDR2 support is easy to check: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Athlon%20II%20X4%20630%20-%20ADX630WFK42GI%20(ADX630WFGIBOX).html Supported memory: DDR2-1066, DDR3-1333 It also says so in the data book: http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/33234H_LX_databook.pdf
When unsure, you can always double-check answers.
