I found a place that is lists the Gigabyte Granite Bay in stock. What would be the preferred ram you would suggest I purchase to go with this. I will be dropping in a P4 3.06 to go with a ATI 9700Pro.

Thanks,

Where's this? I've found places that say it too, but it's just a preorder.

That board going to be running the memory at DDR266 (PC2100). PC2700 would cover you up to 166fsb. PC3200 would cover you up to 200fsb, which I doubt you'd hit.

PC2700 would probably be a good choice. At 166fsb on a 3.06 would be about 3.8Ghz
 
"they can support up to 533 mhz memory"

Wrong. It only supports 133mhz which is then x 4 which = 533
 
Ok, let me clear this all up.

The actual clock of the fsb is 133mhz, Quad-pumped technology gives it an effective bandwidth of 533mhz. So the most bandwidth it could actually utilize is the following formula:

133Mhz * 8-bytes per transfer * 4 transfers per Hz = 4.256 Gigabytes per second.

I believe that formula's correct.......if somebody could veryify?
