Is it worth it to go DDR3 now? Or should I save my money and go with DDR2 memory?I'm gonna get an ASUS motherboard that supports eather DDR3 or DDR2 depending on your answers, but my other question is, which should I go for Asus that supports SLi or Asus that supports Crossfire?

Huh? Don't you already have 4GB of DDR2?Getting a new motherboard. (To DDR3 or t ...
[QUOTE=''X360PS3AMD05'']Huh? Don't you already have 4GB of DDR2?[/QUOTE]Yes I have DDR2 already, is it worth going to DDR3? I'm buying a new mobo and was wondering if I should buy a mobo that supports DDR3.

If it's only to switch to DDR3 i say it's not worth it since you already have 4gbs of RAM.

I think you should keep your ddr2 until ddr3 becomes a must.
Hang onto that rig for a while, in about 1-2 years you can build from scratch.
Do you plan on upgrading to an I7 proc when they come out? If you do, then you should probably keep your ddr2 ram. If you plan on OCing your quad or uying a better processor 775 processor then i think you should go with some good ddr3 ram. It's not as expensive as it used to be and the latencies are dropping a lot.

[/QUOTE]This is exactly the reason I am doing this ''Upgrade'' my cheap a** mobo is locked and I cant overclock my CPU I am planning to buy JUST the following: a new mobo, Thermaltake CL-P0401 V1 CPU Cooler, and the Antec Nine Hundred, hence all these new items will not fit my current case. I have the CPU, RAM, Hard Drive. What do you think?
Why does it say 3.4ghz then?.........................

I'm buying 2gbs of patriot viper 1600mhz 7 7 7 18 which i plan on OCing to 1800mhz, for $200CAD. For around 350$ you can get 4gbs of very good ram.
[QUOTE=''X360PS3AMD05'']Why does it say 3.4ghz then?.........................[/QUOTE]Well the spec in my sig is the ocmputer I want, Let's just say it's my goal PC the only thing stopping me is the overclocking! How sad is that? And I am feeling that inside me computer is really messy. things will probably change when I get the Antech 900?

If i were you i would really invest some more money into a 1200, youre probably going to keep that case for years, it's pretty much almost perfect.

I haven't chose a motherboard yet I'm really confused on which mobo I should buy. I wanna leave that to the PRO's like you guys helping me out right now, which do you think will be the best out of all the mobos in the link provided? I really cant spend more then $250 for the mobo thanks a lot!
the best thing todo is get a p35 or p45 mobo ddr2 and a antec 900 for single card or antec 1200 if going dual card
