umm do they have motherboards for the ram yet? cus it seems kind of worthless if you dont have a motherboard that supports it:p:
Hopefully they get cheap fast...
Is this the collectors editions, cause there are no DDR3 boards on market?
Well..if it was a board we would just nag over no memory was on the market. What came first, the chicken or the egg :P
Neither, common sense came first. :p:Quote:

That board looks gay. We don't need any useless heatpipe snakes, that increase board cost twice. DFI FTW!
My mom could make better board layout.

coolaler...nice pic of geil ddr3-1066 6-6-6-15 2x512
another nb sink to cut off and throw away :hehe:
Well there are no DX10 games also, and...Quote:

and come on 1.5V to 1.8V it's not like it's going to fry the RAM if a switch happened... it's like Running DDR2 @2.15V or DDR1 @ 3.1V it's not good for it but it's not like it's instant death. A lot fo peopel here run in excess of those value 24/7 without issue.(also heat is less of an issue with DDR3 so ehh)
wow i can get 2GB OCZ 8500 SLI for $139.99 after rebate ... and tahts CL5-5-5-15
No, that was nothing more but a rumour like so many other false ones.Quote:

So dont tell me a industry standard should rely on it to be able to overvolt.
man that board has more heatpipes than a striker! :banana:Quote:

Yes, I can just see Dell factory workers busy setting voltage each time.Quote:

Seriously...OC is like flipping a coin. And a 20%+ overvoltage is so bad no OEM would want to deal with it on the factory floor. Unless its for some XPS extreme system.
One can only hope you don't see that on LSD because they would need to call 911 for the paramedics to sew you side back up from laughing to hard.:banana:Quote:

If we have the chicken and the egg, cook me an omelet with fried chicken - for short, show me the benches with the comparison between old boards with DDR2 and this DDR2/DDR3 mutant board with DDR3 ram on, I'm really curios: THOSE IT WORTH IT? - back them use to think it would.
for that price you have the fastest DDR2 memory out there...I hope it will drop pretty soon...would be weird,the most expensive thing in your case is memory,instead of CPU or GPU...
well memory does have more silicon per square conductive inch without the packaging.Quote:

from verndewd's link...look at that chunky nb sink.
too expensive now.. one good 2GB DDR2 set only 150-200$.
Then 1GB of that DDR3 should be better then 4GB of good old DDR2 to worth it.:fact:Quote:

whoever has a ddr3 board atm already has or will have ddr3 memory very soon without having to pay for it... so whats the point? :P
just marketing...
damn it i can source the RAM but not mobo :(
I think you'd be better off using the north bridge sink to cool your processor!Quote:

So you can buy DDR3 but not DDR3 board, and buy DX10 cards but no DX10 games. Next will be "X" uberprocessor without i386 architecture so no Windows at all? Some would be pleased :D
andre has DDR3, but hes under NDA so he cant really run it on his Asus P35 board

This can be done.
I'm still stuck with my DDR since years and now already seeing DDR3 - can't they just make expandable hardware and not totallly new specifications every year ?!
DDR2 is already much older then 1 year???
@verndewd:i hope you don't mind i stole your reply for my sig??:)

WTH I just bought 2GB of Corsair XMS2 DDR2 for $89. I'll wait till prices are that low then I'll go DDR3. :D
so this is why all the ddr2 is dropping in price so fast.....
