Corsair First to DDR3

[DJ-CHRIS1]

so there is a current board that does support ddr3 but no amd boards yet

For AMD it's the processor that determines what kind of ram the computer uses. The motherboard does not dictate what kinda of ram is to be used.

i belive the fx cpu's have ddr3 support but the motherboard also has to support it. they could go back to the old external ram controllers though

Wait for DDR3 technology to become better. DDR2 used to have high latency and timings, but now it's gotten wayyy lower along with a speed increase.

and that isn't even that fast. There is ddr2 which has almost as high clock speed, with cas latency of something around 5.

Also, WTF. Just look at this offer. If anyone needs some ddr2 ram, now is the time to get it.

Yeah, the new P35 chipset supports DDR3. Eh, too expensive if you ask me.
