Intel D845e Chipset

Hi!
As you can probably tell by the title of the thread, I run my PC off an Intel D845e chipset.
What I'd like to know is what sort of RAM would be compatible.? I know SD and DDR work, but would DDR2 work too?
Also, I just bought a POV Geforce 8800 GTS (EXO) and it's on delivery...will it work as well?
Thanks!

That uses DDR333 memory, you can not use PC100/PC133 SDRAM, DDR2, or DDR3.

Also, you only have an AGP slot, so you can't use a PCI-E video card.

I just ordered a new computer to go with the graphics card, it's not as good as yours though. :)
This is how I specced it, due to my budget restrictions:
MB; Asus P5 series
CPU; Intel 5200 core 2 duo 2.5Ghz
2048GB DDR3 (getting another one later)
320 HDD
Let me know what you think.

Honestly, I would try to get an actual Core 2 Duo/Quad, and not the Pentium version. If you do feel that you can't afford anything higher then the E5200 I would not get DDR3 RAM as you would also need a more expensive LGA775 motherboard that supports DDR3, which frankly wouldn't be worth it. You can also get a 500GB-750GB HD for not much more then what a 320GB costs today, just something to keep in mind.
 
Hmm, well that did get me thinking, mainly the thought that I might have rushed into it, maybe.
The think is, I've managed to get a great deal on these parts I think. It all came down to $260 (what I've listed above), brand new. Frankly I couldn't believe it and so immediately ordered it. Though I can still change the specs, I wouldn't know which Core2DUO is actually Core2DUO and which ones aren't. Had you not said anything, I would never have known!
Which processor would you suggest I go for? Keep in mind though, money is an object.
The reason I'd like a good motherboard is in cas I decide to upgrade later, I'd like to know that it won't be obsolete in a few years, as what happened with the d845e.
