    DDR2 RAM won't fit in the 7811FX. Unless I was doing something wrong, cause I tried sticking a ddr3 stick in a ddr2 slot and the chip itself has the gap placed differently on the connector side. So, while the DDR2 is definately compatible with the chipset..100%, the chip will(memory not failing me) not fit if you attempt to stick DDR2 in DDR3 slot and vice versa. But they are absolutely compatible on the hardware/chipset level. And most RAM downclocks to make itself compatible anyhow. Just an fyi. :)

    EDIT: And if you have a montevina CPU and DDR2, it will just throw off the FSB:CPU balance.. no big deal, but one is going to bottleneck the other.
