Hello,
You probably get this problem a lot, but I do not want to risk a failed startup when I build my first computer sometime in July. I have almost my entire rig set out, but I cannot seem to figure out this memory voltage thing. All of the motherboards I have went through specified something about 1.8V RAM, and RAM with very low speeds seem to be the ones with a 1.8V rating. I would like to get some DDR2 1066 or higher, but it seems they all exceed 1.8V. Most of them are 2.0-2.2V.
So, my question is. The slots even if they say rated for 1.8V or whatever, can they be used with modules of higher voltages?
Thanks.
