only the motherboard specs say =Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDR2 SDRAM,however the ram on the link above says -Supply Voltage 2.1 V

im pretty sure i raised my crappy 667mhz ram voltage up to 2.0V to get it to run at 772Mhz when i overclocked my core 2 duo.
 
Some boards are different. Some will default to a lower mhz like 533/667 to boot with 1.8V, some wont boot and sit there and beep at you. The best this to do is, go into the bios and manually set the voltage to 2.1 before you swap the memory.
 
in bios it'll say min voltage is 1.8 and max around 3.something.... memory not clear. i think 3.34 so don't worry.
