well, I've built an E6400/DS4/2Gb 6400 if that's close enough.
Hopefully it should come with a current enough BIOS that you won't have any problems.
if you do have a problem posting at first try using just 1 DIMM to POST & then go into the BIOS & set the RAM voltage to whatever is recommended by the mfr - it's probably more than the 1.8V JEDEC spec.
