Now i am using Asus p5 QLCM Motherboard & Intel dual core E5400 2.70Ghz Processor with DDR2 Ram. But Now i want to upgrade my RAM to DDR3 and i chose MSI B75MA-P45 Motherboard to upgrade. Now, i am not sure this motherboard will support my processor or not. Can any one help me about this? or if it not support can any one please suggest me any motherboard with DDR3 configuration and also support my old processor? Thank You in advance.
Hello here is the cpu list, for the asus board:

Here is the msi site:

Your current cpu will not fit on the msi board, because it is a different socket.
The asus board has socket LGA 775, and the msi board has socket 1155.
You have to buy a new cpu for the msi board, to make it work.

If you want to keep the socket 775, you probably have to find a used mainboard, because this socket type is phased out.
Some online stores still have this mainboard type available, but a new mainboard will have the DDR3 ram socket.
Good luck
