I have an EVGA NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI Motherboard with OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) on it. I want to purchase more RAM but I am not sure if I can mix the RAM safely. I want at least 4GB of RAM and I was looking at buying Kingston DDR2 4GB PC8500 DUAL HYP RAM from Fry's for $49.99 that would give me 6GB of RAM. Would this give me any problems?
I have done several hours of reading on the web and found conflicting answers to this question. The voltage difference from the two different RAM kit gives me a great deal of worry, but I'm not sure if by default my motherboard would set the Kingston RAM to 1.8 volts. I would appreciate any feedback on this answer and if anyone can think of a better setup for me with the least amount of money that would also be helpful.
