Could anyone say what would be the advantages/disadvantages of using ddr2 vs ddr3? I ask this because I am planning to purchase a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P to use with an E6850 but would want to upgrade to the E8500 when they arrive in the new year. Both will be overclocked. I am not sure how the E8500 will perform with the ddr2 memory which the DS3P only supports. I am a little skeptical about purchasing a ddr3 mobo combination at this time because of the ddr3 price, and I fear that price will not drop in the near future.
Many thanks.
