GA-M78SM-S2H memory compatibility

I am looking to order this MB from NewEgg. I want to put 4GB of RAM in
it (2x2GB).

I looked through the memory compatibility chart on the Gigabyte web
site, but I'm not familiar with the manufacturers of 2GB memory chips
listed on the site.

Is anyone running Dual Channel with 2x2GB memory from Crucial, Kingston,
or Corsair?

Thanks!

I use 2x1Gb kingston pc5300 in S2H. But i would look at nominal
voltage for the ram. The highest ram voltage in the bios of m78sm-s2h
is 2.1 volt. So I would buy some pc6400 DDR2 ram with 1.8 volt nominal
voltage. Corsair often set 2.3 volt as nominal.

I have some 2 Gb cheap mushkins that I could try with. I have problems
running 4 of these in some s775 P35 motherboards. But I don't know
what S2H will say to 2 of these. A cumbersome test I think.

best regards

Thanks, I am thinking about getting two KVR800D2N6/2G chips which are
1.8v
