Memory >>> Supports DDR2 800/667/533 memory

Dual Channel architecture support up to 8GB by 4 DIMM slots

* Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount.

Gigabyte also lists compatible RAM for that board here:

You are certainly not limited to these listed modules but if you want certainty then Gigabyte lists these.

That board appears to take high end RAM as well as most of the recent models. You will find a wide variety of prices for what will work.

How much RAM do you want? How much do you want to spend?

I would suggest 1 pair of 1GB in dual channel. You can always add another pair if you find the need for it.

Here is a starter for looking at options:

Here is another link with the DDR2 800 2x1GB filter:
