    Nothing. Only things like video encoding and graphics design. For gamers, almost anything do with memory is irrelevant unless used for overclocking purposes. (for instance, to overclock a Q9550 you do need at least 800mhz RAM)

    Mine chose 1066, and I use a similar motherboard, so that one should too.

    Dual LAN speed will only work if you actually connect using two cables to a Gigabit network. I highly doubt you have the means to do this with your PC, so that doesn't really matter. The P5Q boards are nice, but I generally trust Gigabyte more as a company than Asus.

    No, they're fine. I don't know how good that particular card is though.

    what's palit/galaxy/ and sparkle? Are they good? U think gigabyte will be better than vision tech. btw sam u didn't answer if ur card didn't go over 90 degrees. And how long were u gaming for it to get th 90? Does heat slow them down while their hot? Is that vision tech i showed u does it run hot or cool? spamuel what brand graphics card on ati sam said gigabyte what about u? well for me i know sapphire and gigabyte but i feel like getting gigabyte though sins sam said his opinion. im into nvidia but since these cards are cheap I'de go for them. thanks. peace.

    get the cheapest one

    i played my 2900GT over 30 hours, it got to 95C never had a problem :)

    the second LAN can be used to share the internet, or you can use it so one PC gets net and you can transfer files at the same time, OR, you could hook up a console to it, so the console can get net.

    It gets to 90C in about 20 minutes, but then STAYS there. This is the point I'm making, unless there's something wrong with the cooler on a card, it stays at a specific temperature, no matter how long you game for.

    edit: Yes, useless for most people. It does the same as having another network card plugged into the motherboard.

    Well, we've already told you several times what to do. It's your decision now.
