Vakas I wouldn't bother with the above suggestions. You have a decent rig atm so unless you specifically want to do a platform change AM3 DDR3 boards will be out in early 2009.

AT Least i let him decide and didnt try to badger him into first buying a board that you later told him to ignore then suggesting another, then jumping to intel.
Don't worry about it guys the whole point of the forum is to ask questions and share your knowledge as some people know more than others.
I am not prepared to go for Intel I have been using AMD for years I have never used an intel for my personal use it's AMD all the way for me.
As for minimal performance between DDR 2 anf DDR 3 I read somewhere that It will make a huge difference. So what do you say to this?
Jury is still out... You can check out differences for the intel setup, but the AMD memory controller is on the cpu, not on the motherboard as is with intel...up until the i7 that is... Intel now incorporate the memory controller on die... so until someone can benchmark an AM3 on a board that can accept DDR2 or DDR3 I don't think you are going to get an answer.
I would never say that there isn't a significant difference because like you Vakas I use nothing but AMD for myself and my customers. There isn't any information yet. Because the memory controller for AMD is built into the cpu and they use Hyper Transport it's not easily compared to Intel. Also likely the same as DDR2 we may have to wait for chipsets to catch up to timmings.
I might not wait for the DDR3 support as I might be selling thw bits I have now as a friend of mine wants them.
So if I do I will be getting the GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-DS4H with the phenom 9950 and 8 gig of RAM
How does that sound :)
If I get this memory I don't think I will be able to install chips in all the slots as they look thick and may take up space of 2 slots.

Has anyone used these?
