will this motherboard work with this ram Corsair DDR2 DHX 4GB (2 x2GB) XMS2 CM2X2048-6400C5DHX. was going to get 8gb as that all the motherboard can handle right?
also should i up date the Bios to F9 i think that is latest. as i am running F7 atm with overclocked a little to 3.0 GHz

Max memory = 8GB

Do not update the BIOS just because there is a newer version. If your existing BIOS version is working okay leave it alone. Only update the BIOS if the update fixes a specific problem you are experiencing.
