Hello-
Hope this is the right place to post this.
I just bought a new graphics card to upgrade to PCIE (7900gs) and am now having to choose a new mobo.
I've found an asus mobo on newegg that will use ddr ram that I currently have as well as being PCI Express x16.
found here:

Now my question is I was wondering if I should buy a mobo that uses ddr2 instead of this and buy some ddr2 memory
or
should I buy the asus one, use my current memory, and buy a soundblaster x-fi.
Which would give my system a better performace boost? Is the ddr2 worth it over regular ddr?
How much does the x-fi actually alleviate work from the processor?
Thanks!
