DDR3 is insanely expensive vs. DDR2 for little benefit. It's all or nothing with
current boards and the choice of DDR2 vs 3 with DDR3 RAM being 2-3X the price of DDR2
last time I checked.
I was saying having X48 chipset w/ 16X lanes for whatever use makes sense if mobo is
same price as P45 (x48 lite IMHO), nothing more.

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,

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.
