This is to tide us over until i7. Plus, I have not quite "accustomed" myself with DDR3 overclocking yet and I have a ton of reviews I need to get done, so no time for it. I needed something price-wise that wasn't going to break the bank and I could get right into with minimal impact on review timeframes.

I actually picked it up as a last-ditch effort just in case my DFI BIOS flash didn't work when reviewing the HD4870X2. So, I kept it, have been fooling around with it for the last week or so in my spare time and really like it. You will see DDR3 back into the GPU reviews here in the future but not right now.
