What is your motherboard model and version and Bios version. It is no good going DDR3 if the composite ram that boots the sysem is DDR2 which was common in some ALI chipset combinations.
Going DDR3 is fine but some may object if you haven't got a primary setup of DDR2. Some ASUS and EVGA boards as well as MSI motherboards had issues with the combination with out voltages which caused issues with boot problems and overal power problems on the FSB.
Throughout the whole thread you have not given the specifications of your system. I was wondering if it was mystic.

You can go with either of the above for budgetry purposes.
Yet when I look on Gigabytes Spec list it just specifies 1066FSB and DDR2 Ram.
From what I have read around the forums DDR3 doesn't perform to its potential on the MB so 2*2 DDR2 I would recommend.
The bus speed will only support up to 10600 DDR3 which is 1333 XMP much in the range as Corsair Low profile blue DDR3.
This would be your first stepping stone, though I believe once you have it up and running again I would suggest a Q6600 or other suggestions made here on your current board.
Though I may suggest you could upgrade your existing MB to something like the LGA G range available for current use which may make use of current standards of ram and FSB much better than your existing setups. Motherboards are really the life blood of the operating system, nothing else around them runs without them. Your board is now discontinued and so has mine. My current MB is only 2 months old, but they stopped production as soon as Hawell came out. At present I have a reserve if mine fails. You Motherboard supports up to 8GB of memory in its spec sheet much the same as my 680i MB, but that is exclusively DDR2. You problem comes with matching memory timings and voltages on both DDR2 and 3 busses if you are to push to 8GB or to expand your DDR3 modules with memry. Good luck.
