The manual says, "You can only install either DDR2 module(s) or DDR3 module(s) on the motherboard, otherwise, the system will not boot up." (Page 2-14) | |

Both're P35 boards which had support for both ram types in the chipset. They were never common since only a handful of upgraders would have any use for them. | |
