can someone explain for me what this details about the motherboard means: RAM: 4x DIMM Supports dual channel DDR266/333/400 Max 4GB. it has 4 slot and dual channel. so what about the memory type? some guides that i read suggested pc 3200 dual channel and other says pc 3500 channel. but pc 3500 is DDR 433 which is not listed on the product details.

No board maker can state their product will support a speed greater than PC3200. Speeds above that are not official JEDEC specifications for DDR1.

Even if overclocking, you really don't need more than PC3200, though, because running the RAM slower than the HTT doesn't kill performance. (link) Be sure to get two memory modules so you can run dual channel.
