i have the same corsair memory rams you listed on my asus m2n-sli deluxe.

corsair is known for being compatible with asus boards but i don't know if you are willing to bend yourself and get the cheapest memory rams to see if it works on your asus board.

I would go with Gskills... I have these and they work well out of the box on DS3. Note that this will work at 1.8 volts but at a relax timing of 5 5 5 15. So you shouldn't have problem. Up the voltage to 2.0 and you will soon be running at 4 4 4 12 at 800 MHz!

I have a p5n-e and am also wondering about ram choices. Is there a certain voltage I should look for?

Those Corsairs are using Promo IC's. The G.Skill should be better I believe.
