I'm a noob, and need help in picking the memory for my motherboard.

I'm going with the DFI INFINITY NF ULTRAII-M2 QVL List

Initially I wanted the Asus M2N-E, but read up on the thread (bad M2N-E)and decided not.

I would like to buy: CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

My questions:
[*]Will these work?
[*]Do I just put these in the MOB, and turn it on, or do I need to change settings in the BIOS?

Background work: I sent an email to GSkill, asking for their reco and the guy sent me 2:
[*]G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Newegg Link
[*]G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Newegg Link

I wasn't happy with the reviews I found on Newegg. Since the Tech reco'd the DDR2 800 (PC2 6400), I looked up the Corsair DDR2 800 (PC2 6400), and was really pleased with the Customer Comments

So the question is, can I use these (Corsair DDR2 800 PC26400) in the DFI INFINITY NF ULTRAII-M2 , and if so, can you tell me what I need to change if any in the bios to make these stable and run a very long time.

Thanks for all your replies,
