Hi,

I am planning to upgrade my motherboard as I need DDR3 and USB 3.0 support. I have following config right now.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7200
Motherboard: Intel DG31PR
RAM: 2x2 GB DDR2 800 MHz

Is there any motherboard available with DDR3 and USB 3.0 support which would support my existing CPU? I would prefer if i can get a front USB 3.0 header as well as my cabinet has front USB 3.0
 
there are mobos with ddr3 and ddr2 slots on same mobo but without usb 3. for usb3 support you may need to get a usb pcie card with front header support.

both mobos show 4 ram slots. if you look closely, one color is ddr2 and the other is ddr3. so you can use only 2 slots and max 8GB ram. i dont know if ddr2 and ddr3 can both be used at same time.

they can't both work together .. either you have to use DDR2 or DDR3 only.
