DDR3 on LGA775 ???

[trickson]

I just saw this http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/ddr3-1600-roundup.html And I am stumped ! WTH ?? You can run DDR3 RAM on a LGA775 ? If this is true then what mobo would one have to get to do this and is this a sign that Intel is not going to phase out the LGA775 platform just yet or what ? I am confused !!

You've been able to run DDR3 on some X48 and P45 boards for some time now.

Well where the hell have I been ? I can get a mobo for my CPU that can take DDR3 then what one should I be getting ? I would much rather do that then have to upgrade the CPU as well . This will make my CPU last even longer then !

Meh, why bother for minimal performance gains? LGA775 DDR3 boards really don't do DDR3 justice from what I've seen.

I'm not so sure there are several mobo's that use DDR3 on LGA775 and that would be nice to hook up .
