j.,
A bit confused? I now run DDR3 on my 3 P5Q3 m/b's. And it seems to work
well; as best I can check. If this is a $$ comment, I understand. If not
a $$ comment, I do NOT understand.
I was told DDR3 is where we will all have to go in the end.
I went there 5-6 months ago.
Best,
Duncan

DDR3 would be the "extreme" models of Maximus, Rampage, & Maximus II.
When I checked Newegg the MII & Rampage for DDR2 were same price. Just
seems a waste to not have the xtra lanes "in case" given same price for
both, but certainly both are great mobos.

need to go there but with the $50 rebate. ouch. :'(

thanks, never would do crossfire. Do not game as much as I used to

wound up ordering a Asus Maximums II and a e8600. Love the pin fin
cooling on that MB. way overkill but WTF.
my existing mb has leaking caps and little weird bugs that have been
bugging me. Bad caps was the LAST thing I would of thought of on a
fairly new mb. ( less then 2 years)
major jump for me, AMD to intel. AMD will probably now come out
with something better, figure they been watching me :'( could not
see no reason to go i7 or quad core. ( to much heat )
thanks

The main difference is that X48 is X16/X16 crossfire capable but
P45 is X8/X8. Are you a hardcore gamer with a 1920x1200 or above
monitor? P45 is newer and much less expensive.
