My motherboard died and I need a new one. I know that my RAM is 1.8V is there a way to know by looking at motherboard specs if my RAM will work with it? My system build was:

-Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz LGA 775 Processor
- Intel DG965WH LGA 775 Intel G965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
- Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate
- Antec Performance One P182 ATX Mid Tower Case
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular Recording) 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
- MSI GeForce 8600GTS 256MB (128bit) GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
- HIPER HPU-4K530-MS ATX12V v2.2 530W Power Supply
- A-DATA 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit


I'm not locked in to only using Intel boards, but not sure how to know if the RAM will work with a new board.

You need a mobo that supports DDR2 RAM. I would recommend a P45 based board.

1.8v ram will work with any DDR2 motherboard in any socket. P45 can be found around $100 and is the best overclocker out there.

I recommend this one:
