What speed do you think those boards will run the RAM ? http://www.legitreviews.com/article/511/4/ Paul

Im not woried about price for now. The DQ6 is probably overkill. If the DS5 is cheaper and otherwise meets your needs, buy it. I have 2 DS4s -- a P35 and an X48. Both work well. DDR3 has little to no practical advantage over DDR2 right now, regardless of price. You'd be better off putting your spare money into the graphics and sound cards.

DDR3 has little to no practical advantage over DDR2 right now, regardless
of price. You'd be better off putting your spare money into the graphics and sound cards. I agree with you. Until DDR3 enter mass-production stage, it's too expensive to buy them now.
