Is this a good board? On the website it says it only supports pc2100 ram, does this mean i can't use pc2700 or pc3200 ram?
I am on a budget, and care about stability and peformance, not necesarily o/cing (although it would be nice:) ).
Thanx.
 
You are still able to use pc3200 or 2700, but I believe the best DRAM:CPU ratio you will have is 3:4, which means that you will have to raise the FSB more in order to get the full use of the memory, but with a 2.53B @3021GHz, FSB=159(4), so DDR with 3:4 is 212(2)=424MHz.
The BD7II is capable of doing this with stability.
