Need help selecting ram for P965

[Rustang351c]

Hello,
Doing my first build. A gaming PC with a medium OC. 400mhz FSB+/-
I'm going to use an E6600, Gigabyte DS3 or Asus P5B-E & 2 Gig of PC2 6400....

corsair xms2, patriot, g.skill, crucial are popular in peoples sigs.
Am I looking for a lower voltage piece with higher latances? i.e. 1.8v & 5-5-5
or the opposite? i.e. 2.2v & 4-4-4?
If I were not OCing, the lower (4-4-4) the better right?

ps. stability is more important than extreme performance to me.

~Thanks

i think the best choice for a c2d system would be the corsair 8500C5D

I'm looking at a similar system. Can anyone comment on the Super Talent T800UX2GC4? $260 for D9s.

buffalo firestix 2x1gb pc2-6400 are d9gmh's and still one of the cheapest.
