On memory, the manual says "due to the CPU spec., AMD AM3 100 and 200 series CPUs support up to DDR3 1066MHz. With the ASUS design, this motherboard can support up to DDR3 1333MHz.

When overclocking, some AMD CPU models may not support DDR3 1600 or higher frequency DIMMs."


My question is, what RAM should I buy? DDR3 1066, 1333, or can I go 1600? (I won't be overclocking.)
 
Its supports up to DDR3 2000. But it will default at either 1066 or 1333. If you use anything higher, you will need to go into the bios and manually set the speed/timing and voltage. For the price I would go with DDR3 1600.
 
I went for 1600 too. I think 1333 is better for overclocking because my memory doesn't seem to want to go above 1700mhz
