It's a great board, but the only major con is that it doesnt support SLI.

I'll never be able to afford two graphic cards anyways, one will do just fine for me.

Will this ram work with this board? On the memory support list for the board it doesnt list it.

CORSAIR XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB)

It should do, Rambo has a 2GB kit of the same memory running as something like DDR2-900.
