I seem to have seen a lot of people complaining lately that their XYZ-brand ram won't work with their new XYZ-brand mobo...and a lot of these mobo's are Intel 965 based boards. Intel's own site talks about issues with DDR2 800 ram that is specified for anything other than 1.8v!

So, is this a real problem? Or is it only certain mobos and/or ram?

I guess I'm interested from a general info POV but also, I have @GB of Corsair DDR2-800 but it is 1.9v and have been thinking about using it in a C2D/965 build...

Thanks
