Would like to purchase this Asrock G43Twins Full HD lga775 motherboard but not sure what memory to get with it.Will be using an Intel E5200 cpu with xp pro 32 bit.Have checked the website for Asrock but it doesn't show which memory to go with.I will NOT be gaming over overclocking.I am thinking along the lines of 4-4-4-12 or 5-5-5-18 timings but what about the voltage? If it shows 1.9 or 2.1 will the system default to correct settings or will I need to do anything? any help would be appreciated.Thanks
what memory for Asrock motherboard?

thanks for the reply but I am a little confused being new to this.I am getting different replies saying I should use ddr2 800 pc 2 6400 and others are saying I should use ddr2 667 pc2 5300. They say that with the e5200 cpu the 800 will bottleneck the system to some degree.I am just looking for memory that will work with 1.8v if needed so I don't have to go into bios to change anything.
this is what I have come up with so far.I do have windows xp pro 32 bit OS and a 400w P/S
