The board will not be able to hit high bus speeds even with the fastest ram. If you'd like to upgrade your board the Epox 8RDA or Abit NF7-S v2.0 (little better) are the best. They are worth every penny. You can change anything you want on those boards, they are the fastest boards available and are very stable.
