Unfortunately, you can't use DDR2 in that mobo. Currently AMD supports DDR2 in AM2 platforms only. But even a DDR333 in dual channel could do a nice job. AMD is always better than Intel platforms in Memory bussiness and a good DDR400 at gud latency can easily beat an Intel with DDR667. So I recomment dun go for DDR2 nd all. Just exchange the old mem with 2x1GB good DDR mem with gud latencies.

Also I would say u also invest for a SATA2 HDD nd is available at very affordable prices now a days like 250GB Sata2 for sub 4k.
