    Does anyone have a Gigabyte GA-MA785G-UD3H AMD 785G motherboard?

    Is the vDIMM (DDR2 voltage) adjustable DOWN on the GA-MA785G-UD3H? I picked up some 1.5v G.Skill DDR2-800 memory, but haven't had much success in finding motherboards that have anything below 1.8v / Default. Before I buy this board, I'd like to know. :)
