I'm tired of reading manufacturers listing all "compatible" ram and then they run crippled because of voltage issues etc.

What modules will run full optimized 800mhz latency for a Asus M2N-E mobo.....1.95v max

Any hints from Kingston HyperX or Corsair would be a blessing if someone can suggest it for me. I'm looking for a 2gig dual channel kit that will run flawless at 800mhz @1.95 volts and CL4 timings.

If I cant get that, is CL5 800mhz RAM worth it? or should I get a better mobo that WILL run ram at higher volts? PLease suggest other mobos if you can too. The M2N-E price is good but I don't know anything outside of Asus. Can a Gigabyte mobo run hotter voltages for ram?

Can't find any kits that are rated as cas4 with only 1.9v.... some of them say 1.9-2.1v, so I wouldn't risk it. If you haven't bought that motherboard yet, then I'd get a different one. What CPU will you be using, and what is your price range?
