From what I can tell, 1800 is the point at which DDR3 just about equals or outperforms the best of DDR2.
Although cost is most often used as the reason for not going to DDR3, it seems that if money is no object in pursuit of the fastest rig, we still need another speed bump to justify it in terms of raw performance ?
Future proofing might be an argument, but at this point will there be sufficiently better DDR3 motherboards and faster ram in the future to make a whole new rig necessary to stay comfortably ahead of the curve anyway? Thoughts ?
