ddr2 and ddr3 are still solid options, especially with the p965 Commando and P5K Premium. They’ve dropped from top tier to mid-range, often outcompeted by cheaper or better-performing models. My P5Q is really outdated for FSB (max 490 stable), but it lets me push RAM up to 1520, which even my UDR struggles with.
I just noticed this – thanks for the replies. It’s been a while since I assembled a PC, and Asus has always been reliable for me. I was familiar with the recent problems about Asus motherboard capacitors being installed incorrectly on some boards. What kind of durable motherboard would be best these days? That’s what I’m having trouble finding right now… quality seems to have changed.
