That RAM won't work because it is DDR2 and you motherboard supports DDR.

If you really want DDR2 and AMD you will need an AM2 motherboard.

Then if you get that you would need an AM2 processor. Here is what I see on Newegg

Can easily hit 2.0 Ghz and much higher if needed. Plus it's cheaper than the X2 4200+
