Three years ago, the ASRock N68C-GS FX could fit DDR2 or DDR3 memory on the same motherboard:

This is actually the company's second motherboard of this nature. We previously saw the H610 Combo, which was a full-size ATX option, and it was more feature-rich. For instance, that board had 6 DIMM slots, while this one is limited to just three. Out of those three, two are meant for DDR5, while the one closest to the CPU is DDR4. The DDR4 slot can take up to a single 32 GB stick and maxes out at 3,200 MT/s.
