Has anyone tried this out yet. Im looking at it for my next move into Conroe. I will be matching it with my 2gbs of 1066MHz DDR2, e6600, and dual 8800GTX's

The ram I know is compatible Its Corsair Twin2x type.

8800's are Evga as well.

Ive heard many ups and downs (mostly ups)

Just wanted to know what your guys' thoughts on the board was.

I have a question. I am looking into a similar setup. The 1066 FSB that the mobo runs on should equal the memory data rate. What is the difference between DDR26400 and 8000? I know that 6400 is 800 MHz and 8000 is 1066 MHz but isn't the data rate of the memory split into 2 for the DDR2 memory? I am looking into DDR2 6400 and will be overclocking?

when OCing....the faster the RAM, the less chance of it being a bottleneck.
