If I remember correctly the motherboard was a 680i chipset board. I used the Asus P5NT Deluxe for like 5 years, 3 years running Windows in 64-bit with no issues. Mind you that the CPU was a Intel Core 2 Extreme x6800.
The motherboard you have will run Windows 7 64 bit with no problems. The CPU might be the issue. Also, I also had the RAM out the 8GB as well on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. It ran smooth. Hat surprised me was that when I upgraded to an Asus P8Z68-V with a i7-2600k and I was not really impressed with the speed increase. I guess it was not really time to upgrade yet :) I now upgraded the RAM to 16GB and it kicks ass in and out of Games. Good luck on your memory upgrade.
