AFAIK only Intel chipsets, and only combo (with DDR2).

I just bought 4GB of DDR2 but I'm not worried about it being dated for a long time.

I know how you feel man, I just came from an AthlonXP 2100+. That's why I'm not overclocking my C2D, I'm in awe of its stock performance.

A quick boost in performance you could do, you page-file is really small. I use 512-1536MB personally but some people are known to use a 4GB PF.

Search the Forums on page files if you don't know how. (yay this will be the first result)

Found one. $270US.

That's still in the ~$300AU, not to mention NewEgg is crazy cheap for us.

Ah found a store selling the Asus: AU$376.20 / 318.905 USD

Definitely hold off for a while.

DDR3 is way too expensive.

DDR3 is hideously expensive because it's brand new and isn't widely supported.

There's little point in buying it yet.

Give it six months to a year...

But it is faster and better. They have lose timings only for now, later on they will tighten the timings.

But until then, stick with DDR2. A half decent pair of DDR2 sticks will outperform that DDR3 kit.
