The big thing to me is ddr2 has reached its max, ddr3 has no way come close to its max yet, there up to ddr3 2133 mgz and climbing. I7 takes full advantage of ddr3, the p45 chipset and ddr3 are just not a good match, you need a x48, 790i chipset, or 17. Bob your better off getting a x48, 790i, i7 if your going ddr3, or use the ud3p for ddr2, hope that helps you.
had 790i hated it x48 mobo is not worth it with i7 being here now so will sell 790i and ddr3 and get ddr2 and EP45-UD3P cheers fot the help m8

what is the best ddr2 to get ie mhz timeings ect????
