That should work fine, it's not the best, but then again you really won't be able to use anything faster (unless you get a 1333fsb cpu) unless you oc the chips.

Personally I'd say for stock use, you could get away with the regular 6400 xms chips, unless you plan to run them at 1066mhz 24/7 (2:1 divider for the memory, but a lot of people just run their memory at 1:1 so they can save some money)

If you are not OCing your CPU, and considering pricing, I'd suggest a PC6400 kit. A 2 x 1gb or 2 x 2gb kit would be great. Also, the Dominator 8500 is a good option if you decide to OC in the future.

Dominator 8500 2 x 1gb: http://www.corsairmemory.com/_datasheets/TWIN2X2048-8500C5D.pdf

DHX 6400 2 x 2gb: http://www.corsairmemory.com/_datasheets/TWIN2X2048-6400C4DHX.pdf

Thanks for the replys

To yellow beard

If i got the 2x Corsair Memory TWIN2X2048-8500C5D,Would i have to adjust the bios settings on the board to run them,or would i be better of using the DHX 6400 2 x 2gb or a 4gb kit of memory.

I have seen these memory twinxxms2,ddrpc2-6400(800)

Thanks from 2000AD

To optimize either set of memory (the 6400 or the 8500) you will likely need to make some bios adjustments. The real question IMO is do you want 2gb of RAM or 4gb?

2000ADThe chipset is the same on that MOBO so the recommended memory will be the same for both. For 2 x 2gb, my recommendation is the same as above.
