I'd like to get the 965P DS3. The spec's on the board requires DDR2 800, 1.8v memory, with 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 timing.
I don't plan to OC. Not a gamer. I was trying to keep the cost down by going with DDR2 667, noting that others are doing it. My problem is finding 667 that runs on 1.8v with 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 timing. Is there such an animal? I'd like to get somewhat 'good' memory, but don't want to pay top dollar for a name.
Is the 1.8v absolute. Can I get away with 1.9v. I don't want to buy into a problem where the MOBO won't post. How steadfast is the board timing requirement?
All comments and education is appreciated.
Thanks.
