I was going to get the linked above but its out of stock. What others would people recommend for the motherboard above?

That RAM is DDR3 and the mobo says its DDR2 only so wouldnt have worked. I would get this:

Board apparnelty supports DDR3 if it has a Phenon 2 processor.

I dont think so, DDR2 and DDR3 are separate standards DDR2 slots wont work with DDR3 RAM.
