Is that DDR2 or 3 compatibility, or both?

if you dropped the requirement for both DDR2 and DDR3, which memory type would you really want? I think you will have much better choices this way.

Isn't that AGP?

I think the cheapest 2X PCI Express Motherboard on newegg is $100

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi … rder=PRICE

Edit: nvm, i thought you said your budget was $75

no, PCI-E.  didn't check the number of SATA ports though.

Oh yeah, the ASRock page says PCI-E, but the newegg page says AGP...

The only Asrock MoBo I had went to shit quite quickly.

They're cheap, but don't rely on them for long run, in my opinion.

yeah i wouldn't buy it myself.  but i think he wants a cheap mobo that can run DDR2 and DDR3, so that's the one i know about.

it really doesn't have to have ddr3 and ddr2 support, just thought that it would be convenient.  if the only ddr2/ddr3 combo motherboards are shit, i dont want one

It's got great reviews, it's DDR2-1066 and it's G.SKILL. Can't go wrong.
