This would be my choice for that chip,

Corsair (TWINX2048-3200C2PT) 2GB (2 x 1GB Matched Pair) DDR PC3200 2x128Mx64 non-ECC 2x184 DIMM unbuffered 2-3-3-6 64Mx8 DRAMs Matched Pair Silver Heat Spreader

unless you intend to go to dual core in the future, then it would be
Corsair (TWINX2048-3200PRO), (2 x 1024MB Matched Pair), DDR400 / PC3200, non-ECC, 2x184 DIMM, unbuffered, 3-3-3-8, 64Mx8 DRAMs, PRO series with activity LEDs.

If I may add soemthing I think is important, I would personally check ASUS's website to see what RAM your Mobo supports & what ASUS recommends for compatibility. Just what I would do. Everyone has their own way of doing things like this. I prefer "By the book". In my own opinion, 1 Gig is plenty of RAM. Especially if you have a Dual Channel board.I have a matched pair of 512 sticks, and I NEVER use over 1/3 of it in any application. Just an opinion to think on.
Here is a Great price on what you are looking for. I provide a link to the page, a 2 gig Corsair kit for $260.00

I agree with the last comment, however I already know someone using this mobo and using the latter RAM I suggested with a dual core processor.
It is also recommended to use 2GB not 1GB of RAM for windows 64 to get the max performance. It is also better to use 2 sticks not 4, as it is quicker.
As long as you use good quality RAM, you won't go wrong, and the lower the latency the better, I don't think you will find a better make of RAM that the Corsair PRO range, and as TwinX is a matched pair, the sticks have been tested together for max compatibility.

Thanks for all the comments

Interesting remark on the 2 gig
It is a W64 OS so I will continue with the 2 x 1gb route

bunnyrip
Can't access that link :( . Am using 1 gig now and it flies but will still go 2 gig as per above
Thanks

Yes it is Windows 64, I've read a few articles explaining that once you get to 2GB + on 64 then you notice a significant improvement in performance.
