Computer Memory Question
When memory (DDR2) is rated at a certain voltage (2.2V), does that mean it must be run at that voltage, or will it run at the standard 1.8V but not meet its high speed specification (4-4-4-12), and will operate more like typical (5-5-5-15) memory?

Sometimes a motherboard might be finicky, but if not, you should be able to run it at the lower voltage, althout a lower speed would likely be required.

Gotta read the motherboard specifications.
Not all memory are the same if the specs and voltage appears to be the same. Which motherboard do you have?

One MB is an Intel DG965WH and the other is an MSI 945GCM5. On both one stick ran and the other failed after a few minutes. In both cases, I am running at stock voltage and speed. Memtest86+ is a nice tool for sorting these out. I got the replacement memory yesterday, and the MB and video card came in today, so tonight I am building up the PC.

The Intel board wants to run memory at 1.8V (according to Intel). If you can up the voltage setting in the BIOS, you might want to do that if stability is an issue.
http://www.intel.com/products/mother...ddr2/index.htm The 965 chipset is great. The Core2Duo processors are also excellent. I'm running my quad 2.4Ghz at 3.0Ghz on DDR2-667 RAM, and that's without any modification of BIOS settings other than the FSB speed.
