Im about to buy the pieces for the first computer ive built but i have only 1 concern. Specifically, will this:

PNY VERTO 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820178090

run on this:

ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 945P
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157096

I ask this because

1) i dont know what voltage that ram requires
2) i dont know what voltage that motherboard requires to boot

Basically, my overall question is as follows: Will the 945P run for the first time with any ddr2 ram? Or does it have to be 1.8v?

also: if its not possible to answer that question with the above ram because its voltage is (unknown?), how bout any ddr2 ram that says 2.0v or 2.2v?

Most ASrock boards in my experience dont allow you to set the DRAM voltage.

The ram should still boot and work at slower SPD timings @ 1.8v, but you likely wont get the best out of it.
