New Motherboard Needed

A new Memory module from OCZ is leaving every other PC3500/PC3200 memory module in the dust, including Corsair. It's optimized for Dual-Channel DDR configs and it's reasonably priced. It's called the OCZ PC3500 Enhanced Latency (EL) memory module. It can be purchased from <A HREF="http://www.coldconcept.com/default.php/cPath/39_42/osCs..." target="_new">here</A>. They ship to canada.

My Recommendation
-----------------
Gigabyte 8INXP motherboard
Two OCZ 256MB PC3500 Enhanced Latency (EL) memory modules

I really do not want to trash my ram I own 1 Gig and it was quite dear. I would like to get a Motherboard that will take advantage of this ram. So to clarify my question, will a board that supports PC1600 RAM support PC3200 RAM? If my board will oporate with the ram installed and is stable is it being utilized? How can I tell?

It's only being utilized as much as you specify. If you run your DDR400 memory at DDR266 speed, then it is virtually identical to a DDR266 module and most of its' potential is being wasted. The best board to utilize that RAM is Gigabyte 8INXP. And if you overclock, your going to have a system with loads of performance potential.
