All about the difference in DDR and DDR2, never really sat down to read the difference so a condensed version of this added to my knowledge a little.
Never stop learning.

I learned about it while doing the Buying Guide Article. I still use Skt 939, so I had never taken the time to read up on it.

Anyone think this --> Canada Computers - Your Neighbourhood Computer Store and Service Centre - PC Systems and Hardware Components, Notebooks, Electronics, and more. will go good with AMD Athlon 64 3500+?

ALso I got a question, my friend told me that Asus motherboards use a lot of power to make the computer work, is that true?

Too much to read! But it does seem that you have a PCI video card and sAM2.

MicroATX? Does it have to be MicroATX? If so, then this motherboard should suit you well. Else I would look at a mid ATX motherboard, such as:

Also, about the power consumption of ASUS boards, it depends on the board. Usually it depends mostly on the chipset. Any motherboard from any manufacturer can consume X amounts of power. The onboard video would consume a little bit, unless disabled.

I am buying my motherboard toodayy, so I was wondering, thanks for your answer panda, although I got 1 more thing to ask, since that motherboard doesn't have a.. front/header USB Port thing, than can I buy this one?

And, by chipset, if you mean by the processor, people told me the AMD Athlon 64 3500+ is suppose to use less power

No the chipset refers to the two main motherboard chips, northbridge and southbridge. The MoBo you chose uses the NVIDIA NF6100-405 Chipset.
