the reason for the upgrade of motherboard is that i will be using it in another build that will be clocked quite a bit and the DS3R board so far has been a very stable clocking board. another reason is the P5K has wifi so when i get round to making a HTPC it will b used in there.

excuse my ignorance, but would having 8gig be a bad thing if i wasnt using it all the time ? i occassionally use a bit of maya,3dmax and photoshop so its not like i would not be using quite spec hungary programs

thanks for the help
