Memory Question

[Achy]

I'm currently building a computer with the A8N-SLI Premium motherboard which has a "DDR Standard" of "DDR 400." Does this mean that that is its maximum memory or could I have a better chip? I.e. could I use DDR2 instead of just DDR when the motherboard only has 4x 184pin DDR and DDR2 chips are 248pin?

Thanks.

I think that board will only take 184 pin DIMM/Type. DDR400 would be the a standard FSB speed for the processor.

You can not use DDR2 on it, since it's physically different. It would not fit in the dimm slot since it is 240 pins, vs 184 pin Dimm.

Thats what I figured... Only reason I asked was because I couldn't find an Asus board with 248 pin slots. Ah well, DDR it is then .

Thanks for your reply!
