    No, you can't use DDR3 in a DDR2 slot.

    Onboard RAID vs. 3Ware RAID

    I never recommend people run RAID-5 with onboard chipsets.

    If you wanna use DDR3 RAM, This 785G motherboard will be okay

     GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-UD2H AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

    Or you will have to buy some DDR2 ram for that motherboard. not much difference.
