DDR3 SDRAM modules already can ensure pretty decent performance of contemporary platforms. Although this type of memory features somewhat higher latency than the widely spread DDR2 SDRAM, its higher working frequency that today reaches up to 1600MHz ensures higher bandwidth, which can make up for the latency. Taking into account almost the same performance of systems built with DDR2-1067 and DDR3-1333 SDRAM, we can conclude that DDR3-1600 will ensure higher performance.

Possible i belive.
 
I found the P35C a bit flaky with DDR3. I might just have had a dodgy board or even the BIOS wasn't up to date. The IMC certainly restricted my OC on my Q6600 so I swapped it out. It was just by chance some DDR3 came my way so I tried it at the time.
 
Funnily enough, I'm looking to put some RAM in one of these. It's just a server, and it's had DDR2 in it since it was built years ago. I didn't realise that DDR3 was so cheap these days, much cheaper than the DDR2 that's in.

Question: Crucial's web site says the board can only support 2GB sticks, meaning 2x4GB sticks is a no-go.

Anyone tried it?

It seems to work fine.

Its in my second PC.
 
Will work. My misses uses DDR3 in her DDR2/3 dimms fine, but it may only run at 800mhz due to the limitations of LGA775 processors with memory.
 
I'm so out of touch with RAM speeds etc these days. I'm struggling to remember how it all works!
