Wasn't exactly sure where to put this since it covers multiple areas, but I guess it's a CPU question.
I currently have a M4A78 pro with 8GB of DDR2-800 and my motherboard doesn't support DDR3. I just bought a Phenom II X4 965 and I'm wondering if I would I see a huge improvement of performance of the CPU buying a new motherboard that handles DDR3, and some DDR3 ram? I know I could probably sell the 8GB of DDR2 for the price of a moderate motherboard that handles DDR3, but if there's not going to be a major performance increase than I surely dont want to go through all the trouble selling everything, taking everything apart, not having a computer for a week because I'm poor, etc.
