ok, well enough reading on this thread and might as well make a post..

i wanted to say thanks to Sergio for the help with memory idea's for the new USB3P i am getting.. Thanks

i have a UD3P with a Q9550 i got from NoGuru... been a great board thus far and no issues....

but i wanted to " try " something else out before jumping into a P55 or X58 and thought i might as well try a USB3P..

I'm going to be running the USB3P with the G.Skill Eco's for the time being...
Eco's

but hope to try out the
Super Talent Chrome Series DDR3-2000 2GB CL8 Memory WB200UB2G8

or

Super Talent DDR3-2200 4GB CL8 Dual Channel Memory - WS220UX4G8

i will be running Chilled Air water cooling until i take a drive to go see Kingpin and get a new F1 Gemini..

here was a test with my Q9550

i hope to have a little fun with this new USB3P, should be fun on water and Dice with some duals, quads and maybe some P4's...

thanks for all the great info here.....
