Can someone advise on the best memory, the fastest memory my board is capable of taking, about 2 gig would be fine. It's purely for smooth gaming and playing latest releases, would I need a more powerful power supply as well? Many thanks I'm aslo looking to buy a pci express 512mb graphics card to match up with it.

Cheers

Based on memory pricing and since you are a gamer, I'd strongly suggest a 2 x 2GB kit of some PC6400 aka DDR800. It will scale back to the DDR667 speed your MOBO supports. If you don't want 2 x 2GB, the same applies for 2 x 1GB of DDR800.
