Links for the boards and memory would have been helpful.
The first board being the GA-G31M-52L can be seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128078
The second GA-EP43-DS3L is seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128347
The OCZ memory name is a 2gb kit of DDR2 800 memory seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227198
The first board sees DDR2 800 as the standard there while the second sees DDR2 1200/1066 memory as the standard for that model.

One thing to do when first decided on just what board you will end up with is to look at the manufacturer's own specifications page. You can even go through the online user manual to see what voltage settings are standard for that board. Some will 2v to 2.2 or 2.5v even while others see 1.8v - 2v.
When not planning or in the middle of ocing memory keeping the voltage set lower will help keep temps down. As for the memory look at the voltages it requires. That's the thing there to look at.
The OCZ memory you selected shows 2.1v while the first board shows 1.8v as the notmal stock setting. http://www.gigabyte-usa.com/Product...rboard&ProductID=2693&ProductName=GA-G31M-S2L
On the memory support list they only list one 1gb module by OCZ with the item number #OCZ2800R22GK. http://www.gigabyte-usa.com/FileList/MemorySupport/motherboard_memory_ga-g31m-s2l.pdf And that just happens to be the memory you selected. The board will have to be set for auto to see it set itself to meet the 2.1v requirement.
