I use an NF7-S with 2 0.5G banks of 2700 and an XP2700+ - 2.4.20 kernel.
My only comment would be the 3700 memory - AMD works best with a 
'synchronous' memory interface - I don't think you can achieve that with 
3700 memory UNLESS you can overclock.  Carefully review any benchmarks 
that you can find - my configuration has been shown to run 3% faster :-) 
(per my recollection) with 2700 DDR than with 3200 DDR (the fastest 
option when I built my system about 10 months ago).
