are there any mobos that still support 184 pin ram when put with a conroe chip or even a pentium D 900 series? i thought i saw one on newegg that had both 184 and 240 pin slots. if anyone has a dual core chip and still using 184 pin ram please help. I obviously want to upgrade in the future, but want to keep a hold onto my 184 pin ram, as ram is friggin expensive nowadays. i remember i bought a 1gb stick for about $70 less than a year ago and the same ram is $110 right now. why isn't 184 pin ram going down in price like say, socket 939 processors??????
Material Cost / Manufacturing Cost / Shipping Prices maybe?
That answers 1 of your question, i dont know shit about hardware, sorry..

ASRock makes such a board, but you may have to search to find it.

if you can (which I'm 90% sure you cannot), its a crappy idea.
1: more energy (savings over 5 years would pay for the memory, or over 2 yrs if you sell your current RAM)
2: DDR2 is faster. and better. and faster.
3: its not That more expensive then new DDR400 ram.

thats like buying an X2 and saying you want to use SDRAM with it - dont do it!
