It says the Memory Standard is DDR800. Does that mean it won't accept anything faster?

No, it means it won't accept anything slower. Check Asus recommendations for complete ram compatibility.

PCIe2.0 is something completely not compatible with PCI Express x 16 right?

They are both PCI-Express slots. PCI-E 2 is just the upcoming technology.

Actually, that is not true. It means that DDR2-800 is the fastest it will support, unless you overclock. I believe that board "unofficially" supports DDR2-1067, only if you have a CPU that has an FSB of 266Mhz (ie, what everyone calls "1066 mhz"). If you overclock more, you will obviously be able to run your memory at higher speeds.

As far as other memory speeds, it will support DDR2-533, DDR2-667, and DDR2-800.

Where does it say PCIe 2.0?
