I am having Intel DG31PR motherboard...currently i m having 1x2GB Transcend PC-6400 DDR2 memory....i want to add 2 GB more....should i go with Corsair, or buy another Transcend one....

My mobo supports 1.8v memory and Corsair modules are 2.1 mostly so will it be able to handle this memory....
Pls help...

i'd go ahead and buy the same memory. i personally wouldn't have two different memory voltages running. same speed and same voltage is okay.

if your mobo only supprts 1.8v, get the 1.8v. you might have stability issues if the ram is undervolted. i wouldn't recommend it . just get something that is 1.8v. or same as your transcend memory.
