WTF is that 3T Comand Rate? Is this mean very muck overclock than 2T? (1T slows the clock by ~50-100Mhz than 2T). I wan'a see DDR2 @ 1600+![]()

I was running SLIed 7800GTXs before I got the 8800GTX. I don't buy the second card right away like some rich people do. The OC for AMD x2 is crappy. wow I could run the system at 2.7GHz instead of 2.4GHz. The benchies for the system running at 2.7Ghz don't impress me. before this motherboard I was using an a8n-sli deluxe and there is a difference between 2x 8x and 2x 16x. it looks like I have one of two choices: run a 680i system or wait for the intel chipset with 2x 16x pci-e slots with DDR3.Originally Posted by wangerin
