I NEED TO KNOW IF MY MEMORY VOLTAGE MATTERS i have read that if the mem voltage is higher than what the mobo puts out normally than it will not boot please help

MB will automatically set to correct memory voltage. All things being equal get the lower volt memory but don't go out of your way to get it. If overclocking two sticks are better than 4.

Rosewill power supplies are not that good.

About your question: most motherboard/memory combinations now will boot at the "standard" default voltage of 1.8 volts (DDR2). So the first time the system POST's, go into the BIOS and increase theAM voltage to factory specs.

I agree with jsc, try to avoid Rosewill power supplies.

DO NOT POST THE SAME THING TWICE.

If you have trouble boot with one stick of memory, go in the bios and set the memory voltage. Shut down and put in the second memory chip.
