There is a 100 Dollar price difference and I dont know if it is worth it, or even a noticable gain? Secondly this MOBO supports Dual DDR I believe it would need 2 DIMM??, would I be wise in returning the DIMM for 2 DIMM's or would that be anything noticable, then notice the CAS level of 2.5 would running at CAS 2 be obviously faster?? Combined upgrades might prove an obvious gain but I can't find any facts stating so or if I can notice any indiviually.
