AM2 Mobo's that support DRAM 2.1V

how can you tell if a mobo supports 2.1V for RAM? I have RAM that runs with 2.1V in the link below:

http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16820145177http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820145177

and i want to make sure i get a mobo that supports this voltage, but all i see is that they state that they support 1.8V.... here are some boards i'm looking at:

http://www.mwave.com/mwave/vie...a=BA23486&RSKU=BA23486http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA23486&RSKU=BA23486

http://www.mwave.com/mwave/sku....hmx?SCriteria=ba23884http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch.hmx?SCriteria=ba23884

as i'm writing this post i just found that the 2nd board goes to 2.4V, but where does it say that on the specs page of mwave or somewhere like newegg?

also, i guess while i'm at it... anyone have any experience with these two mobos? or can suggest a good sub $90 mobo with decent OCing capabilities and no SLI needed?

The best way is generally to go to the motherboard maker's web site and download the manual, and check the BIOS options.

Also, I have found that sometimes Newegg users put details like that in their reviews to help other potential buyers.
