Is it ok to plug a 20-pin PSU to Asus P5LD2 mobo?

[RoboticMatt]

Hey guys,

Quick question: I want to purchase a Coolmax 550W ATX Desktop Computer Power Supply model CR-550B which has 20-pin power connector. Is it ok to plug a 20-pin PSU to Asus P5LD2 mobo? Also is it possible to use DDR rams instead of DDR2 rams on this mobo?

Thanks for the replies. First time building my own pc Excited!!!

PSU - ok as long as you're aiming for low-power graphics and CPU.

RAM - not OK. SDR, DDR, DDR2 standards are mutually incompatible. Unless that board is a dual-RAM-style design that has both DDR and DDR2 slots for you to use either, that'll be a No.

Ive also got a p5ld2 with an x700, p4 630, 1gb ddr2, big typhoon.

I have a 20-pin 350w generic psu that ive had no problems with in the past, ive ordered an antec smartpower 2.0 500w but the distributor in australia cant get any stock until 2~5 of november.

Will the 350w generic do ok with everything at stock speeds until i can receive the antec power supply?
