Memory for BOXDP35DPM LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX

I plan to use a Core 2 Duo processor with this board and would like some
info about the memory to choose. Does the memory depend on the
processor or the motherboard, i.e., if I were to decide to upgrade to a
Quad core processor at some point, would I need different memory?

I am thinking about purchasing mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM
DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) with EPP Profile Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
($39 at newegg.com) Any suggestions?

Also is there a limit to the amount of RAM that WinXP will address?

Thanks

Thanks. The link to the Mushkin that I quoted above is to a RAM that
runs at 2.1 - 2.3 volts, and the RAM for that board needs to be 1.8 v,
so do be careful. I will either look for Mushkin or Crucial RAM. I
had thought about Vista, but I have heard so many complaints that I
think I will stick with XP.
