    Well, with the mobo you've listed, the fastest RAM you can get is 667. My mobo supports Dual Channel DDR2 800, but it costs nearly 200 bucks lol.

    The motherboards FSB rating is 1066/800MHz the CPU's FSB is 1333MHz. It won't work.

    I think this motherbaord should work fine. its rated at 1333MHz and higher, ontop of that it says it supports core 2 duo. let me know if this will work fine with my CPU.

    The DS3L is a great board, but why such a pricey chip on a budget PC?
