Move to DDR3 a board that supports DDR2 and 3…..

[Moreniko]

Hello, I have been disconnected from the little world for a long time and now that I would like to make a small expansion, I have some doubts.
My motherboard, the one from the brand, supports DDR2 and DDR3 at 1333 maximum, that's what it says in the manual.
I want to expand RAM and as we already know, the old technology is worth a lot more, which, since I have the option, I have the idea of assembling DDR3 for the price more than anything, my doubts are:
Is the operating system supposed to support it without formatting?
These are the options I have looked at quickly; would they be compatible?

KINGSTON. DDRIII 8GB KIT2 PC1333 HYPERX BLU CL9 RO ::: APPinformatica.com :::
KINGSTON DDR3 8GB 1333MXZ CL9 HX BLU 2X4GB ::: APPinformatica.com :::

and these are the ones that were recommended to me, which would surely be 100% compatibleKINGSTON. DDR3 8GB (2X4G)1600 HYPERX CL9 X2 GREY ::: APPinformatica.com :::

Any better suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

P.D. I want to assemble 8 gigas.

The motherboard of your system only supports DDR2.

Sorry, I have the box in front of me and I think I understand that, besides the person who sold it to me assured me that.
And I have 6 slots 4 ddr2 and two different, the motherboard is GA-p35c-ds3r, in the signature a C is missing, sorry.

Your motherboard: http://es.gigabyte.com/products/page/mb/ga-p35c-ds3r_20

Here you can see the memories it supports: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

And it says where the DDR3: 2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM with support for a maximum of 4GB of system memory

So you can put a maximum of 4 Gigas. I don't think you can share DDR2 and DDR3 at the same time. Nii putting the DDR3 at the speed of the DDR2; but maybe some handyman is able to make them work at the same time, so I prefer not to get my feet wet.

Changing memory does not imply formatting. Nor changing the micro, source, case... even not changing the graphics, Sound... just delete the previous drivers well. Changing from one motherboard to another is advisable to format; but I have changed from an AMD 939 to an Intel Dual Core years ago without formatting, just plugging in the same hard drive and that's it.

That yes, of the rest if they are not going to be for oc the cheapest ones of the maximum speed that your board supports and if it can be with lower latencies.

[Moreniko]

So what change had I thought, hahaha, since I can't increase the size, can you tell me if something will be gained with the change, or is it absurd as I fear.

It's not worth it, you'll buy DDR3 when you upgrade to a platform with an Intel Ivy Bridge, an AMD Piledriver, or something later.

[Bm4n]

DDR3 is cheap and will give you better performance, whether it pays off or not is up to you.

[amd125]

You can sell the DDR2 and buy DDR3 You will earn some euros. Apart from that, in terms of performance, you won't notice anything exaggerated. I would stick with what you already have until you change platforms in the future.

[Moreniko]

Well, seeing the little things you tell me, I almost stay as I am, since I also need a monitor…..
Decided, I save it and I'm going to look for monitors because things are very bad.
Thanks for the advice.
Regards.

P.D. From here you will see me soon, asking questions as always, about monitors..

@Moreniko:

P.D. De aquí poco me vereis,preguntón como siempre, en el tema de monitores..
