DDR3 RAM. Help With My New System.

I'm building a new computer in 2 weeks. I see DDR3 RAM is out. Back when i built my old computer ( I'm on now ) DDR2 Just was coming out. It cost close to $1000 for 2gigs back then and it's looking like the same for 2gigs of DDR3. Is anyone useing this RAM? And if so have you tryed it with the crysis demo!?I'm trying to build a system that can max crysis and keep it over 30FPS. Any help will be great. This is what I got so far.

do u know when teh cards are coming out? I have 10 people coming over the 23rd to check out Crysis and a few other games on PC and I want to blow them away with Crysis. I'm just trying to run it at it's best with what's out now. Should I get 8gigs of DDR2 with Vista 64? Would that run better then 2gigs of DDR3 RAM? And with the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 over clocked to 3.6GHz. Would i see more FPS? Keep in mind im trying to run this DX10 2xAA or 4xAA

The demo does not have the option to but the graphics on very high.. which is probably why and after very high comes maximum so 2 steps below max and hes hitting 45 fps it can only get worse which it does..hjkb123

If I were you I'd get 2 8800GTs instead, slightly lower performance at only 500-600 dollars. I would get a Q6600 and OC it to 3.0ghz which is fairly easy. Also get 2x2gb of DDR2 800 Ram. This will easily max Crysis for much cheaper. Then spend that extra money on a good custom water cooling kit to keep everything cool. Heck, you could buy a phase change but that would be unnecessary.

Overpriced rig man, just don't overdo it.

I suggest waiting for the new 92 series GPUS to come out.

That would probably get crysis running on max with a steady AT LEAST 30FPS.

Amazing rig btw.

8 gigs of ram is total over kill 4GB is really enough lol

and I guess they wont be out in time for you as the 9*** series aint expected till be out until december/next year

you could try quad sli if you have money to burn and use 4-8GB RAM :P

sorry have not played it just going off information I was told thanks for the update but also from what I heard people with SLI 8800 Ultras.. said they could not max it out as in play the game without drops in fps that made it jaggy etc but I wont know until I get my new rig :)
