Well you are looking for RAM for a desktop motherboard, but you sent us a link to the laptop RAM section of newegg. You need DDR2 RAM, that is all you need to know. Now according to the motherboarrd specs that will only support up to DDR2 533, which for a new motherboard is terrible to be honest, but I supsect it will support higher speeds. Even if it doesn't, the higher speed RAM will just slow down, so any DDR2 will work. How do I know? Well I just know, experience. As for a specific one, well newegg has over 100 differe 2x1024MB packages of DDR2, so take your pick. Here is a cheap set that will work since you seem to be on a budget:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231044 if you want something a little higher performance, send me an email and let me know. As for power supply, just make sure you get one that is big enough to support all the parts you are buying, hard to say how big you need without knowing what video card you want. And the burner reads both CDs and DVDs.

this is a good deal from newegg. You won't need "special" ram. Be sure to read the first review's comment about the memory timings. That reviewer was using AMD. The second reviewer was using an Intel chipset like you. Great price....

You can run a free test at http://www.crucial.com and find out what kind of RAM (memory) your computer needs. It will automatically test your system and tell you what you need and have in the computer (each slot).
You can get cheap memory at http://www.tigerdirect.com or http://www.newegg.com

Crucial has an excellent memory configurator - it will tell you what kind of memory you need, though you don't have to buy it from them.
I buy Crucial and OCZ memory.

For some reason newegg.com has cheaper prices on crucial memory than crucial does. Go figure.

go to www.4allmemory.com
It will tell you what memory to use and what's the maximum capacity that you can install and even if you have a empty pci slot or not. when you look up certain kind of memory it should tell you about it's compatibility.
