That board takes a PCI-Express card and all those cards are DDR memory..
For $160 or so you'd be looking for something like this :

You're thinking the memory on the video card has to match the memory on the motherboard.
No.
Take a look at my sig ( video card listed along with my system memory) and then just go check out a few other forum members sigs.
