DDR2-800 and Voltage Requirement.

[kenr77]

I am building a new system with a TForce 550 SE MoBo. I am considering this Memory: 'Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail'. The only problem I see is that the Memory requires 2.2v, and the MoBo has BIOS setting for the Memory only too 2.1v. The MoBo has a jumper that sets it to 2.4v. The older MoBo version, the plain TForce 550, has the same jumper, but only sets the Voltage to 2.2v....I am thinking I need to select different memory......Any suggestions as to what I should do.???

You're right - choose different memory.
