Hi

seems like my old motherboard is taking a downhill. Processor is core2duo 2.66 which is good condition. Need to upgrade to a motherboard which got ddr3 support. Please guide me with links.

^^ tell us your budget ??

if you are looking for a cheap G41 mobo opt for Gigabyte G41MT-S2P around ~2.4k ;-)

Problem with C2D is you can get the G41 as cheap solution but they only Support DDR3 1066 which is slower than "standard" 1333. But it wont make a noticeable difference though. Also it support max 4 GB Only so don't waste buying more.

^^ G41 chipset supports memory upto 8GB ;-)

and the standard 1333 Mhz speed can be achieved by Ocing the mem modules ;-)

IntelÂ® G41 Express Chipset

8 GB supported for DDR2 & 4 GB supported for DDR3

the info on Intel's website may be wrong coz every G41 mobo with DDr3 support out there supports 8GB of Ram ;-)

Check out the Spec page of GA-G41MT-S2P

2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory

or Asus P5G41T-M LE

2 x DIMM, Max. 8 GB, DDR3 1333(O.C.)/1066/800 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory

Biostar G41 HD

Support Dual Channel DDR3 1333(OC)/1066/800 MHz
2 x DDR3 DIMM Memory Slot
Max. Supports up to 8GB Memory

So we can say G41 mobos with DDr3 supports upto 8GB mem ;-)

Weird to see Intel's own page posting wrong info then lol

^^ yep, they might have overlooked this as this a ultra low end product by their standard now or they might be to busy with SB and SB-E cpu/chipsets ;-)
