Advice in upgrading motherboard and ram to ddr3

[geordie56]

I am currentley running an ABIT IN932X-MAX Mboard with a Intel 775 6850Extreme Quad core CPU. 2 BFG 8800GTX Watercooled extreme GPU's, 2x 2gb OCZ PC2-6400C5 Vista Gold Series memory,Coolermaster 1000watt PSU, Triple Rad for GPUs and Single Rad for CPU with Laing Pumps and XSPC clear tops. I am running on XP.

Now my question is , i want to consider going onto vista and am considering the striker 2 extreme with ddr3 2000mhz ram. This is to try and get vista running in sli with no problems and use dx10 rather than 9 on XP. Would i see any major mains by doing this and changing to Vista or is my setup ok as is? Im not to sure on the current motherboard you see. And would like to see if the 790 chipset is a lot better than the 680? Thanks for any help.

what would you say would be a better and stable board to run in sli above the one i have? what ram would be better also and would vista be any problems for the likes of crysis still doing this?

So is the formula quite a bit better than this board then? Obviously the ram will make a good bit of difference as im limited to 800mhz. I dont want to go i7 due to the cpu i have , i only got it 10 months ago and cost quite a bit also its a top spec cpu. Could you tell me the best way to check out my ststem performance ie benchmarking and how to get a program to do it? cheers .
