Voltage question

[disb0ijimmy]

Yea I was wondering if a mobo that supports 1.8V can use a 1.9V? Is it possible the mobo can still handle that or will it screw up eventually? For some reason I can't really find mobos that are AM2, support 1.9V ram, and are SLI capable. Also does 667 and 800 mhz really make a difference?

That means it will support DDR2 ram down to 1.8V, not just 1.8Volt

A) You can use 1.9V memory, but you probably will have to bump up the voltage in the BIOS
B) Just about all AM2 SLi motherboards will support 1.9V, you just need to up the Voltage in the BIOS to 1.9V
C) Between DDR2 667 and DDR2-800 there isn't much difference. If you have the money, bet DDR2-800, but if buying DDR2-800 memory makes you cut back on another part of the comptuer, then just stick with DDR2-667.

PS: DDR2-667 runs at 333Mhz and DDR2-800 runs at 400Mhz.
