Intel's Chipset datasheets list the following:
Intel 975X memory bandwidth 10.7GB/s

Intel G965 memory bandwidth 12.8GB/s
http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/g965/prod_brief.pdf
If I do NOT plan on running multiple GPUs - Does the memory bandwidth of the G965 (and the price) insure a superior performing system as opposed to a 975X with a single GPU and 800Mhz (PC-6400) memory?
I was kinda shocked when I reviewed the chipset datasheets and noticed the throughput difference. Can anyone verify these as correct and confirm or dispute my reasoning? Thanks
