What you should do is look into building your own system, dont get me wrong i like asus but for the money you can over do most OEM's with custom computers. I'm talking more bang for the buck.

You also posted Double Data Rate 2 v.s 3. Well just think it went from Single Data RAM (SDRAM), to Double Data Rate (DDR), to Double Data Rate x 2 (DDR2), to Double Data Rate x 3 (DDR3), its just faster, cooler and I mean literally, and larger GB packages.

DDR3 is the standard from the way I see it and even if it isn't it will be

Don't get DDR2, it'd be foolish to say the least
