Why DDR3 is my question. Nonetheless here you go.

well do you think my other build of the 780i would run better or this one?

 

[johnyeah]

For the price difference between a DDR3 and a DDR2? I would just get a DDR2 ram and MAYBE use that price difference and get another 9800GX2.

 

[David018]

price with the 780 and the 790 are almost the same about 100$ difference
the ram i found was 190 for 4GB 2x2GB but reviews said was garbage so scratched it.

as for the other build with 800mhz DDR2 how high could i OC the Q6600 or does the 1066 ram effect how far can OC the cpu?

 

[johnyeah]

Your PSU is more than enough to handle anything SLI'ed at the moment.

 

[johnyeah]

$100 difference + the 200 dollar difference between DDR2 ram and DDR3 ram. Guess what? Just enough to get another 9800GX2.
