As long as we're talking about RAM, is DDR3 really worth it? I have 6GB of DDR2 in my comp now and it runs things fine...
no, if you have 6GB DDR2 you are good until next MoBoThe primary benefit of DDR3 is the ability to transfer at twice the data rate of DDR2 (I/O at 8× the data rate of the memory cells it contains), thus enabling higher bus rates and higher peak rates than earlier memory technologies. In addition, the DDR3 standard allows for chip capacities of 512 megabits to 8 gigabits, effectively enabling a maximum memory module size of 16 gigabytes.
