There should be no motherboards out, $350 or otherwise, that support DDR3 memory. Unlike Intel's current CPUs, the memory controller isn't on the motherboard, but the CPU. This means AMD needs to release a new chip, or "re-spin" current ones if they want to support DDR3. They are expected to do this at some point, but probably not until 2009.
There is currently no reason to get DDR3 memory. DDR2 is really all you need. DDR2-800MHz is fast, and provides a nice overclock.
