no unfortunately its a DDR2 only board ,there is also a warning of sorts on the memory support list for that model board  that reads .
Note:Due to AMD AM3/AM2+ CPUlimitation, DDR2 1066 or above speed memory module is only supported by 1 dimm per channel.

Hi Pantz..Welcome.

Try out this site, http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/motherboards/1876_2.html.

It gives pretty good info regarding your board, & lack of DDR3 support.

Hope this helps.
