i see allot of the old 4 generation 1150 and in the box say it can run 4 generation and 5 generation of Intel CPU so can it run both and use the same ddr3 memory or i need to buy the ddr4 memory too?
LGA 1150 socket for the 4th-, new 4th- and 5th-generation Intel® Core™ i3, i5, i7, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors

They all use DDR3 the z97 will run both out of the box but z87 would need the proper BIOS update to run a 5th en devils canyon CPU. So the one you linked will run both CPUs and use DDR3
