DDR3. 1600Mhz is also easier to achieve on most boards than 1066 was on DDR2, and it runs a hella lot cooler doing it.

I think my DDR2 is running at some weird divider near 1000... haven't looked lately, LOL. 1:1 must be better but I've seen tests that indicate odd dividers don't really matter, I suspect that is dependent on the chipset.

It's one of the best motherboards I've ever owned, though I've taken TWO of them out plus a graphics card with a bad PSU. One still kind of works, but part of the PCI bus is fried. The other won't post.The third is still humming... they were all flashed with the Rampage bios. Built like tanks.

my maximus extreme is 3years 4months old and still runs like new! very tough mobo and built to last for years! I love asus ROG boards! Best gaming boards on the planet! when i had my q6600 the same day i got this mobo i OC it to 3.6ghz and it stayed like that for 2years ! now 6months ago i got a new q9650 oc to 3.8 and it is running very happy! it seems this board is hungry for my OC but i dont use watercooling only a corsair h70 which i am quiet happy with the core temps.....watercooling is expensive for me

Actually that is not how actual latency works.
DDR3 has higher timing numbers than DDR2 but can have lower latency than DDR2. DDR3 1600 @CL9 is still slightly faster than DDR2 1066@CL6.

On a 775 board like you have, the DDR2 1066 cas 5 will have lower latency than the DDR3 1600 cas 7 you quote because there is no advantage gained from use on a memory controller on the CPU. That being said, the higher frequency of the DDR3 will provide greater bandwidth. In practice, it's hard to say what would seem faster.

I got my calculations arsed up - the DDR3 is slightly less latency, not slightly more. So it definitely would be quicker.
