Ddr3 video card on ddr2 mother board?

Will the 9500gt xfx video card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150332) work on my motherboard? the ram on my motherboard is ddr2 and the video card is ddr3. do the ddr's matter?|||GDDR2 = Graphics Double Data Rate, version 2

see details here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/1…



ofcourse graphic card DDR3 is better than a chipset GDDR2 on motherboard



But the performance will not as you expected.



► good luck!|||Graphics card memory is separate form that of the system memory. It does not need to be the same. the DDR3 ram in the graphics card is just faster.|||DDRs represent the genreation of RAM

The higher DDR3 is a newer standard that is faster than DDR2 and the very slow DDR.

As long as your card slot is rated correctly for your motherboard it should be fine. Since the DDR3 Ram is built into the card, it will only be used be the card to help process your games along with the GPU (Graphics processing unit) which is the CPU of your card.



So to cut to the chase, the DDR3 wouldnt matter, the real issue is if the motherboard will have a slot suiting for the pins and speed rating fo your video card.
