My motherboard (I have a dell dimension 4600) runs memory at 2.6V. if i ordered a stick of memory and it says the voltage is 2.5V, will it work in my system? or do i have to buy memory made to run at 2.5V? Any help would be appreciated.

The voltage won't be a problem, but I do see another issue: PC3200 is supposed to be 2.6v, slower RAM is supposed to be 2.5v, is your system using an P4 with 800 bus? If so, did you order PC3200?

I mentioned this in your other post, you didn't respond, are you even paying attention?
