Asus P5N-E SLI LGA775 motherboard

I am considering purchasing this motherboard and putting a Intel Pentium D 925 processor on it. My concern is that this MB specs say that it can take 2 gig memory strips (up to 8 gigs in the 4 memory slots). I am looking at A-Data 4 gigs (2x2G) strips and want to find out if these memory strips are compatible with this MB. Here are the specs:

A-DATA 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Model
Brand: A-DATA

Model ADQVE1B16K

Type 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM

Tech Spec
Capacity 4GB(2 x 2GB)

Speed DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Cas Latency 5

Timing 5-5-5-18

Voltage 1.8V

Heat Spreader Yes

Recommend Use High Performance or Gaming Memory


Need to make sure that this will work. If not, what type of 2 gig strips will work on this motherboard?

Thanks

Timstow,
I am running this memory, the only way I was able to use all of the 8Gig, was to install the additional 4Gig after updating from XP Pro sp2 to Vista Business (64bit), also you have to avoid the Bios's Memory hole at (800) mhz, set the memory speed to (711) or greater that (866) mhz.
