DDR2 or DDR3??

Hi guys, hopefully if i manage to sell my ps3 i will be able to buy a computer. I have been looking on this site, www.dinopc.com but i am a little confused when it comes to the RAM. Basically, i buy a customised computer with DDR2 it will save me a lot of money than if i bought it with DDR3. Is DDR3 really worth it? I want this computer for gaming and multimedia (im not a hardcore gamer though). Also, if i buy a quad core, and fit my 9600 gt gpu in it, will i be able to run games like ut3 @ high settings with a decent frame rate? Thanks, Sean

The 9600GT isn't a great card, but it's pretty good. With a decent CPU most games will run well on medium to high settings. It will almost certainly run games better than the Ps3 too. As for ram, i don't think in your case DDR3 would really be worth it.

Ok cheers, but whats the advantage of ddr3?

Thanks, i think you'll find DDR3 RAM costs a lot more... anyway im gna take your advice and stick to DDR2 because it will save me soo much money :)

No difference between DDR2 or DDR3 whatsoever. Pick whichever ones the cheapest.

Tbh I'd recommend you get a PC with 4GB (ddr2 or ddr3), a graphics card 9800GT/4850 or better. And run the CPU past us before you order.polarwrath11

I think having looked at the total price with a pretty decent graphics card, a quad core processor is out of the question lol :P

I think i will stick to an AMD dual core because they are cheaper. I was looking at a 500 watt psu :)

Never go cheap on a PSU, make sure you buy a good brand or you will regret it later.
