The motherboard I will be buying from my friend is a ASUS K8V SE DELUXE. On newegg it says it supports 3200 ram, but it says nothing else. Would pc2700 fit in this board, or should I buy new 3200. I am thinking of buying his board, and buying a 3400+, instead of buying his 3000+. Here is the motherboard. Here are the specs when I'm done: Asus K8V SE DELUXE amd 64 3400+ 80gb wd hardrive PNY 6800 vanilla 1gb pc 2700, or 3200 if need be.

You should get PC3200. Even if your RAM does work, it will severely limit your system's performance due to lack of memory bandwidth. As for getting a 3400 over his 3000, dude, don't bother. If you're gonna replace the CPU, at least get something with 1M of cache, and even then it's not worth the money...yet. Keep your eye on the Athlon 64 3700 that fits your motherboard. When it becomes reasonably priced, slap it on! "Republicans in Congress are moving to ratify a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, thus ending the Iraqi insurgency."

If you just buy the board & not the CPU along with it, it defeats the whole purpose. The $100 price for the combo was what made the deal so sweet. Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz 768MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro

Ok, I'll get the board and cpu then.

Yes the ram will work. But it will run at 2700.
