If you have the ddr2 already go that route ,if your buying all of it new get the ddr3.

M4A78T

BUT....

If you have the 955 and you haven't bought anything yet, get what I got, the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe.

I would go with a FX chipset with ddr3. But if you already have ddr2 and a ddr2 board i would just keep what you have until better boards come out in the future.

Agreed. I would get a 790Fx{or gx for that matter) since you said you weren't going to sli. It will probably help with oc'ing and I would personally go DDR3, but I would NOT go with 6 gb's. I would go four or eight (the eight being in 2x4gb sticks not 4x2gb sticks. And I don't even think they make 4gb sticks in dual channel...)
