DDR3 is the same price or cheaper than DDR2 at the moment afaik. You would not lose performance with that board. I would still purchase an AM3 board. Look in my sig for the MA770T. It's a great AM3 budget board and OC's well.
Would a Gigabyte GA-MA785G-UDH3 mobo bottleneck a Phenom x4 955?
Curious before I match those two up. The 785G series is AM2+, while I believe the CPU is a socket AM3. The system I'm building is going to have DDR2 memory, DDR3 is a little out of my price range right now

Just making sure that the CPU would function well with this mobo.
Don't want to lose performance over something this easily overlooked. Also, if it DID lose performance, how much would be lost? Thanks.

Not via CPU. The way I would interpret a mobo bottleneck would be based on number of PCIe, DDR, etc. slots. When you're limited to what you can add to it, I guess that would be a bottleneck. It's not how I would word it.
