dinos looks stressed

It must be 7x otherwise there would be much more attention Also you can calculate latency and see that 715Mhz CL6 is not enough for such mega speed at 6x

i think you are right but posting such screenshot is VERY misleading without clearing it up

Yep, bad screenshot If it was that fast I'd sell my car to get DDR3

Except you aren't being forced to change memory, the P35 supports DDR2 or DDR3 so you can buy whatever suits you and your budget the best.

The same board does not support both DDR2 and DDR3. There is a model of the PK5 that supports DDR2 but the model that's supports DDR3 is a different mobo. DDR2 is not pin compatible with DDR3 even though both have a 240pin layout. The keying on the memory socket has been changed on DDR3.
