For an overkill media server + personal use computer:
a) Which P5Q is best, and;
b) Over the next 5+ years, is DDR3 important enough to buy into it?
Finally, do I care about 8/16 phase power if I'm not a hardcore OC'er?
Bear in mind that the issue is not: "What do I NEED?" but rather; "What do I WANT?"
I am torn between the P5Q Premium with 1600mhz FSB but 1200Mhz DDR2 and the P5Q3 Deluxe with 1600mHZ FSB *and* Memory; and a second PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot.
