Do the Graphic Cards need to be "Actual ATI" cards, or can they be produced by another company such as "MSI" or "Gigabyte"?

I could not find any official "AMD" mobos, but a number with an AMD Chipset. Is that acceptable?

I don't think AMD sells DDR2 Chips, We can use something like "GEIL", "Corsair", etc... Correct?
