Low resolution gaming performance tells us another story though, with the DDR3 P5K3 Deluxe board fractionally out performing the DDR2 Asus P5K Deluxe in three out of the four games tested. By faster, I mean "fractions of a frame per second" which is as good as unnoticeable in a real world scenario. Certainly not worth investing hundreds of pounds more in over an Asus Commando and DDR2.
