I have had the Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P for the past 4 months and quite happy with it, currently running 5600+, but I bought it because I could use cpu and memory that I had already.

But it appears that it's no longer avail from newegg, perhaps u can find it from some other dealer or maybe upgrade your memory as well and get the ddr3 memory version

I do not think they make a am3 socket motherboard with ddr2. You will probably have to decide if you want the am3 cpu or the ddr2 ram.
Sorry to say this so late,but if you want a motherboard for a am3 socket cpu this is a good deal for 36.99 after rebate , but the rebate ends today. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135250 I am about to get it.

It's a matter of semantics. Yes, true AM3 motherboards will only have DDR3 support, and only support AM3 CPUs.

However, AM3 CPUs will work in nearly any AM2+ motherboard that has the proper BIOS updates. I've got two AM3 CPUs (X3 710s) both running in AM2+/DDR2 motherboards. I could put that 955BE in any of these two boards with my 8GB loadouts of DDR2 and it'd work swimmingly.

And as a side note, my #3 motherboard is an IC780M-A2. Sucks for overclocking non-BE CPUs, but is great for the 550BE I have in it right now. However, that board will also not support the 955BE, as it only has 95W max official CPU support. You'd pull that board's MOSFETs dead with a 125W or 140W CPU in short order. Nor does it support SLI. Definitely won't be useful to the OP.

As for the OP, Nvidia-based options are limited. The ASUS M4N82 would get you there, but it's sitting right at $160. That might blow your budget...

ETA : The Foxconn Destroyer might also help you out. $150USD, you'd have to track it down at a Canadian retailer.
