There are no benchmarks yet showing DDR3-2000 running relative to the needs of a renderer...but there are test showing write/read etc speeds with DDR3-2000 and they are alot of faster then DDR2 memory is...go look at xtremesystems site and you will see what I mean.

My main point is why would you invest in the low speed DDR3 when you will still need a higher=higher priced motherboard? Your average user will not be going this high-end route to begin with...only your true enthusiast. With that said, if someone is going to benchmark DDR2 vs DDr3, get the upper-end speeds of DDR3......why compare the low-end speeds of DDR3 to the high-end speeds to DDR2? The real benefit is that you can get ram that will do 2000mhz now.
