Today I recieved my NF7-S Motherboard (Rev. 2), and I just now noticed that its claiming it runs on Dual DDR memory.. I am like WTF... I already have 1-Kingston pc2100 DDR-SDRAM and 1-Crucial pc2100 DDR-SDRAM @ 256MB each in my current board, will I still be able to use that memory in this new board I have or must I buy new memory?

Please let me know, thank you.
 
Yes, you'll be able to run those sticks just fine. DCDDR references the implentation of a second memory bus to interface with the memory. I'm probably not technically correct but think of it this way: There are two pipes to the well with the pipes being the memory buses and the well being the memory.
