This may sound like an incredibly stupid question but here goes...

I recently bought a ASUS 9600gt video card, and am using it in a EVGA 850I FTW motherboard. Ever since installation, I have noticed that whenever I try to do anything that takes extensive processing power, aka, games, The card gets extremely artifacty to the point of unuse, and I get weird sound stuttering issues. Because of this I switched back to my dual 7600gt SLI setup, which worked great for me for awhile, until recently, when I started experiencing some bad memory issues on one of the 7600 cards.

I decided to try the 9600 again, and am still having the same problems. I just noticed that the 9600 gt video card uses ddr3 memory, and my motherboard only uses ddr2. Am I correct in feeling that this is the problem, or should this work?

I'm probably a complete git for even asking a question this obvious.
 
firstly the video card memory and system memory are completely separate that is not your issue. I don't think I have heard of an 850i FTW do you mean the 750?

when you say "artifacty" are you referring to garbled rainbow colors all over the screen? or do you mean banding and stuttering of the frames?

have the latest drivers? for motherboard and video card try those first then post back.
