I need help PLEASE!

I'm going to upgrade my ASUS M2N motherboard to a Foxconn A7DA-S 3.0 AM3. Heres the link to Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813186168 .

I just want to know, this thing supports DDR3 memory, and i have 4GB of 800MHz DDR2 in my current system. I want to know if i am required to upgrade my memory to 1333 MHz DDR3 or can i use the 800MHz DDR2 memory with the new board?

Yep, DDR3 only on that board.....

If your budget is around the 130ish I would suggest you get this instead :

GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

As far as performance goes the foxconn might be a tad faster but not earth-shattering....

Yea the foxconn has dual x16 slots but the onboard video is what steers me away.... if you are buying a gaming board you should stay away from on-board video unless you can deal with the small issues that they cause.....

Well in the past I have had driver conflicts and glitches mostly in games.... Since then I have steered away form on-board video and have not had 1 issue.....

Dunno maybe the newer boards with on-board video work perfectly fine, as far as a couple of years ago they here a pain in the arse......

If you are buying the board strickly for x-fire on a budget then go ahead, but for that price there are much better boards out IMO... I would rather buy a 790XT and settle for one big beefy video card.....Or better yet the 790X and not have to deal with buying DDR3 ram....

Like I said, on an AMD platform you really wont see a night and day difference when you compare DDR2 to DDR3.... The only platform that I have noticed a major difference is on the Core i7.......

+1 "dokk2"

I dont think there is a much of a diffrerence comparing x16 to an x8 slot....

My board has dual x16 slots and I have compared it to other boards that have an x16 / x8 slot and as far as performance goes you can barely see a difference....
