The DDR2 vs. 3 comments are almost all from way back in 2007 ... apparently I missed the memo - which one is better ? - considering a modest budget - and e7400 core 2 duo ?
Building a system w/ 2.8 ghz (e7400), a ATI Radeon 4770, and 4 gig RAM.
Use: Video / Photo editing, Heavy(10 window+) 2D CAD & WordProc. ( No gaming, and No Raid needed )
Yeah, I know the 4770 is overkill, but I like/want the DDR5 bandwith - (it's the cheapest way to own DDR5)
The ASUS P5QL PRO is only DDR2, the GIGABYTE GA-EP45T-UD3LR is DDR3 ... would the faster RAM memory make a visible difference ?
Both are about $ 85 (after rebates) ... and have good reviews & stability ratings w/ this core2Duo Chip.
. ...Can't spend more than about $ 90. on the MoBo
