Getting a new motherboard. (To DDR3 or to DDR2)

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?X360PS3AMD05

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.

Because he still has a motherboard that came with his hp, and the bios is locked. I think you should keep your ddr2 until ddr3 becomes a must.

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?

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.greatmax1

Do you know when the i& and the mobo that supports LGA1333 will come out?And how much it will cost?

Why does it say 3.4ghz then?.........................X360PS3AMD05

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?

I have a Q6600 @ 2.GHz if I got the Thermaltake CL-P0401 how much do you think I can OC my CPU? Do you think I will be able to reach 3.4GHz?

I'm getting one of ASUS's mobo's CLICK HERE. 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 cardIQT786

Thanks so much I'm gonna look into that ASAP.

How much do you think I should invest into the mobo alone?

Should I just buy a mobo with the highest FSP (1600) supported? whats the risk of overclocking the CPU, will I be risking burning out my computer?f-a-d-3

best thing todo is look at some oc guides every motherboard is diffrent if you mess with voltages too much you could burn your whole pc but you will have to mess around with voltage so look for some guides on how to oc the mobo your getting

go for a mobo with 1333mhz fsb thats p35 or p45 they are very good overclockers msi or dfi etc

Okay guys thanks for sticking with me for this long, I have come to my conclusion and these are the two I have a dilemma with.

This #1

Or

This #2

#1 is better it uses a intel chipset the intel chip oc much better

if at 400fsb it will goto 3.6ghz or 3.2ghz like myn i set my multi on 8x not 9x your north bridge volt will be 1.5 and cpu will be around 1.35-1.4 volt depends how good your cpu is btw is it the slacr go version or b3IQT786

My CPU is a G0. So what I should do is 400FSB multiplier on 8x not 9x the north bridge volt will be 1.5 and cpu will be around 1.4 volt, what if I put the multiplier to 9x?And really the Asus P5N-T Deluxe sucks!??! I was leaning towards that one.

if you put it on 400 you only have 2 choices 3.2 or 3.6 go with 3.2 that cooler dosent look like it will handle 3.6ghzIQT786

Okay so 3.2 it is, can you tell me what I should put when I attempt to OC my CPU for the first time? example: FSB 400, Northbridge 1.5? what else am I missing, I have to write this down on a piece of paper so I don't forget it lol.
