what type of RAM are you using ddr3 or ddr2 and what frequency?

also what budget range are we looking at?

thinking about dd2 1066 ram but would like to stay with the gigabyte brand for the m/b just because I have used this board before. also don't really have a budget can spend as much as needed.
