And thats where DDR3 comes in my friend
no it's a very large waste of money to buy something for benching but has no practical use, sounds like I might have to buy some some day. na just kidding DDR3 is a total waste really on these chips. If I was building from scratch maybe but not now, DDR2 is plenty fast. Really all you need is DDR2 1000 to 1100 to get ya to 5.0ghz and really nothing is 24/7stable past 4.5ghz anyways, with reasonable voltage. I do like the 790I FTW boards and always have but I don't want to spend the money on that crazy over priced ram and then there is the ebay sale hassel, rebuild, and hoping I don't get a bios hardrive corruption or bad incompatable ram, or any of the many other crazy problems 790I boards have and other ddr3 boards for that matter. Hum the more I talk about this the more I think I might try it. Um Naaa baby Naa. I think under ten seconds in super PI with a 149.00 cpu and 80.00 ram and a ddr2 board thats does 580fsb is plenty fast for now.
