You picked a good Central Processing Unit to purchase. I know little regarding the reliability of the motherboard you chose, but I do know ASUS makes some quality motherboards. I looked up the specifications on the the motherboard you picked and the CORSAIR XMS PC2 6400 memory you selected should work with it.



The following 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 memory works with the ASUS P5E:



DDR2 1200 / DDR2 1066 / DDR2 800 / DDR2 667 MHz, non-ECC, un-buffered memory.

thats what confused me. the newegg.com specs page says ddr1200 ram only. said nothing about other ram. i wasnt sure if this ram would work or if the board supported other rams other then ddr1200.



where did you find those specs?

I found the specifications at the ASUS website:
