My head will explode unless I get help......

    I need a good mobo that can hold up to 8gb of ram(ddr2 or ddr3) for a good price. Ive had my google eye's on this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813141009    
Im having hella hard time finding quality ram for it, I want 8gb, but I can only find 6gb.

Thoughts?

You wont find many 8GB kits for DDR3 because most DDR3 kits are for triple-channel support.

Note: DDR3-2000 and DDR3-1800 are overclock frequencies. You can get RAM that supports it, but its often expensive. You will ONLY need it if you plan on some serious overclocking.

Just get DDR3-1333, which is the most common. Like this (you'll have to buy two of these kits to get to 8GB)

Before you go (possibly) wasting your money, read this and this. Basically, unless you're going to overclock the bejeezus out of your rig, and you're going to literally be working with 100 instances of memory intensive applications, 4GB of dual-channel DDR3-1333 (you're using a socket 775 board, so no triple-channel for you) is probably all you need. (and I'm assuming you're using a 64-bit OS)

Socket 1366 (Core i7) are the only boards that can use triple-channel RAM.
