hello, i was wondering because i wanted to buy a new graphics card, if my computer (motherboard or whatever) could of supported a ddr3 or even a ddr5 graphics card.

here's all the information of my pc:
first of all im using windows 7 ultimate 64-bit
i have 4gb ram
i have QuadCore AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 940, 3000 MHz (15 x 200)
my motherboard is Asus M4N78 SE

so please answer me, im kinda in a hurry

Yes the ram on video cards which is actually GDDR5 is contained on the card and not accessed by the system, so what version it is makes no difference.

Ok, and you are %100 sure? Because i know people telling me if my motherboard is DDR2 that i cannot use DDR3 or DDR5 Graphics cards. But anyways thank you.

your ram is ddr2 ,your mobo will support a ddr3/5 gpu ...

 

[Wrench97]

Well they are 100% wrong
You have seen cards advertised as DDR5, have you ever seen a DDR5 ram stick or a motherboard that takes DDR5...............Answer no there are no such products on the market.
Same was true when ddr3 cards came out and motherboards were ddr2.........

I second this, uneducated advice is all it is. Instead, teach them to say I don't know because they are talking out of their butt
