Hello..
Just had a question about memory support for the motherboard I am buying.
The motherboard specs say:
1. 4 x 1.8V DDR2 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory
2. Dual channel memory architecture
3. Support for DDR2 1366+*/1066/800/667 MHz memory modules
The chips people are buying and installing though show Voltage specs of using: 2.0V - 2.1V
such as these popular kits:
* G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 PC2 8500

*mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146785&Tpk=Model%20996599
Question:
Even though motherboard specs say 1.8v, it is ok to run memory that have voltage specs of 2.0 - 2.1 Volts?
Just wanted some clarification on that...
Thanks
