any ddr2-667 or ddr2-800 would be good for you.

Okay Thx!

edit:
So does that mean when I see a Mobo that say it supports FSB: 800/533MHz then I need 667 DDR2 for that?

Any recent motherboard you find now will be fine with either 553, 667 or 800, etc. Your purchase depends on how much you want to overclock.

Im not going to be OCing at all.

You can get this then...

You could still OC a little using that.

Alright, so what should I be looking for in a Mobo to get the most performance out of my rig?
Do I need one that will support 1066?

I would go with the Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 board.

thats a little expensive for me.
Is there something you can recommend for sub 100 bux?

I too would recommend the S3 or the Biostar for a P965 board. However, for sub $100 you might want to look at the MSI , just check some reviews.

However, if budget is a major concern and with no overclocking, you may be alright going with a P945 board instead.
Gigabyte
Biostar
Abit

I opted for 2x1gb sticks as a non-package as its cheaper.
