The chipset and the motherboard are the primary determination here. In fact there have been motherboards available which can take a couple different kinds of ram (so you can go with whatever is cheap) although not at the same time, but with the same CPU.
Pretty much, whatever your motherboard takes, that's what you've gotta use.
