G.SKILL Extreme Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 500 (PC 4000) Dual Channel Kit

The board says it takes ddr 400 and this ram is ddr 500 so does that mean it isn't compatible? I'm guessing no.

That ram should work fine for that board. To get to DDR500 you would just need to change some BIOS settings (overclock...lol) That is the point of DDR500, so you can overclock your ram as well.

I would recommend GSkill's HZ's over the ZX's any day. In fact, I'm jealous. But why are you looking at the NForce3 boards?
