 Thread : Upgraded CPU - Looking for MB.
 
Profile: newbie
More Information

Home Built System:
MB - Asus Commando
CPU - QX9650 (minimal OC - 3.34)
RAM - 4 GB Corsair XMS DDR2-800
GPU - GTX8800
 
Question:
Just upgraded from an E6600. Would going to a X48 MB make a huge difference? What about DDR3?
I'm looking at the upcoming Rampage Formula (DDR2) or Rampage Extreme (DDR3).
Obviously, going with the Formula means I can keep my DDR2, but it's the (relatively) slow PC2-6400.
It's used for gaming. I want a fast system, but I'm not out for the world speed record either.
 
Thanks,

DDR3 is just to expensive for the performance increase.
