suburbanDK Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Are these compatible? I'm RMA'ing my Abit QuadGT back that's using the Dominator right now, and thought I'd get a start on my next build. It would be great convenience ($$) to be able to get the board now and use this memory for the time being. My plan is to use this board for the big rig: starting with the MaxExt & E6600, then upping to a quad or waiting for the 45nm processors The quadGT will replace the Asus A7N8X deluxe/Athlon XP2600+ in our basic rig. I'm hoping to leapfrog the upgrades to be able to afford it, yet get some serious performance pieces. thanks, subDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 No, the Maximus Extreme is a DDR3 only MOBO: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=572&l4=0&model=1862&modelmenu=1 The Maximus Formula is the DDR2 version: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=572&l4=0&model=1889&modelmenu=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanDK Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Ah, the wife's going to kill me! Thanks for the response, Yellowbeard, I downloaded the manual and also found the answer. Can never be easy, can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Can never be easy, can it? It is hard to keep up with when they change the naming conventions. The other current DDR3 boards from ASUS have a "3" in the part number. But, I'll admit, if I had not been dealing with the Maximus over the past couple of weeks I would not have known. Good luck getting it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
