| Windows Vista Enterprise x64 SP2 | Re: DDR2 CL5 vs DDR3 CL8 DDR2 provides the best value for the buck. Having said that... if you are installing a high end CPU, DDR3 is best for you! |

| ultimate 64 SP1 | Re: DDR2 CL5 vs DDR3 CL8 i'd also go with the DDR2, having your RAM frequency much higher than your FSB (i.e. DDR3 1600) wont show much of a boost, especially with a C2Q.  |
