Picking out memory for AM3/AM2 Board

It usually means the BIOS 'auto' OCs the memory controller support that speed. It's hard to say what exactly is going on by the manual though.
Memory Clock
This option is configurable only when Set Memory Clock is set to Manual.
When you use a AM2 CPU:
DDR 400 Sets Memory Clock to DDR 400.
DDR 533 Sets Memory Clock to DDR 533.
DDR 667 Sets Memory Clock to DDR 667.
DDR 800 Sets Memory Clock to DDR 800.
When you use a AM2+ CPU:
X2.00 Sets Memory Clock to X2.00.
X2.66 Sets Memory Clock to X2.66.
X3.33 Sets Memory Clock to X3.33.
X4.00 Sets Memory Clock to X4.00.
X5.33 Sets Memory Clock to X5.33.
When you use a AM3 CPU:
X2.00 Sets Memory Clock to X2.00.
X2.66 Sets Memory Clock to X2.66.
X3.33 Sets Memory Clock to X3.33.
X4.00 Sets Memory Clock to X4.00.
X5.33 Sets Memory Clock to X5.33.

That's what I'm confused about.. Newegg and even their website doesn't even mention anything about DDR3, until the manual.
 
It doesn't support DDR3 at all, and I don't recall seeing any DDR2-1333 modules out there (not to say they don't exist). It must be a preset OC setting.
 
There isn't DDR2 1333MHz. OCZ were developing some for a time and got it out (sort of) but it never got done properly. Your memory controller can support speeds up to 1333MHz, but to actually use that, you will have to overclock your memory.

So, it can support 800MHz and 1066MHz modules. If you want 1333MHz you will have to overclock your memory
 
Most bugged out on DDR2 1333 and didnt release it after DDR3 came out. They make DDR2 1100 and 1200, but for the price its not worth it

Just did a little looking and turns out OCZ did make some with, but didn't sell it proper. It is red and ATi because it was the first crossfire ready memory
