A very nice friend has offered the above mentioned RAM to me in exchange for some car work done.

I was thinking about upgrading my computer to begin with, and this seems like the perfect reason to. From my current computer, I will definitely transfer over to the new one:

6800GT
Optical drives (DVD burner, CD burner)

My hard drives are older, so I will probably get a new one or two of those. I know they don't use the latest connector type. I think they're just ATA100s. Everything else is older, and will not be using in the new computer.

So for a gaming rig, what MB should I base this new RAM around? I appreciate your input! But please, if you do suggest something, please take a moment to explain why so I can understand it.

(not partial to Intel or AMD, so fire away)

Well I haven't been following too much on Intel boards but I do know DDR2 only runs on Intel boards as AMD has yet to support it. I hope that halves your choices right there.
