New motherboard, cpu and ram
Hi, I'm getting a new motherboard, cpu and ram for my server.

Will the following setup work optimally together?:


GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Pentium E5200 Wolfdale 2.5GHz 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

Kingston 512MB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory


As an additional question, I'd like to ask; can 1.5gbps S-ATA units work on 3.0gbps S-ATA ports on the motherboard?

EDIT: One thing I'm concerned about is that the motherboard and cpu has different FSB speeds, does this affect the performance in any way?

EDIT2: I noted that I had found ram corresponding to the FSB speed of the CPU instead of the MOBO.

Therefore I found another RAM that might work better(?):

Kingston HyperX 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Desktop Memory


Another question: the higher FSB speed, the better performance?
