Hello,
I've seen a bunch of posts/reviews comparing DDR2 and DDR3 but almost all of them utilize the core 2 quad serires of processors to do their benchmarking. From what I've gathered, most of them conclude that DDR3 is a very very minor upgrade from DDR2.
So my question, will a core 2 duo (I'm looking at the E8500 in particular combined with probably an x48 MB) benefit in any way shape or form from upgrading to DDR3?
Thanks!
