i test ran 2x1g sticks of a-data 800mhz-EE with micron d9's and two sticks of corsair xms 800 with pro-mos chips for a total of 4 gigs adata on slots 1&3 and corsair on 2&4 .
4-4-4-12-22 @2v 800mhz --ran for days with no problems with the e2140@ 3.2g .
the only problem i see with running 4 x1 g sticks is that the slots are a bit too close if you have big heat-spreaders .
as far as this type of MB being sensitive to PSU--well i have used a number of units ranging from old tp450w antecs --550w TC antecs --550w antec tp-2.0's late model ultras and even a $20shipped fle-bay powerchief rated @ 650w but when tested only out out about 360w and has very low amps on the 12v rail. so far--the ip35e has been able to run without issues with all of them .
about ram -- i've had excellent results with corsair XMS with pro-mos chips , A-data 800 EE with micron d9 although i also think that a-data with pro-mos would work well, super-talent with micron d9 crucial with micron d9. these may require a bit of additional v-dimm but i haven't see a one so far that wouldn't boot up @ 1.8v-dimm and they have tons of overclock headroom .
these things just love micron d9's and pro-mos on the brainpower pcb--since you can get the good ram for about $15 more than the value stuff it is the ticket .
