DDR2 voltage ranges vs. motherboard.

[mikesw]

My BIOS doesn't allow or provide me with options to change motherboard voltages.

Presently I can put 4x1 gig chips on the motherboard, but the typical voltage value

posted for the DDR2-SDRAMs are around 1.8v.

I see OCZ and crucials ballistic memory use from 1.9-2.2 volts. My chipset is intel 915G.

My DDR2 memory is typically 1.8v and since I can't change it in the BIOS, I wonder

if the 1.9 and above voltages for faster memory chips will damage the motherboard

chipset, or not run at all due to the voltage value?

Any comments?

You could try but I can tell you that for 99% I´m sure it will be unstable or not even start/boot up.

Stick with 1.8V DDR2 DIMMs .
