1.8 V (only) DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
8 GB maximum total system memory
Minimum total system memory: 128 MB

Serial Presence Detect
DDR2 800, DDR2 667, or DDR2 533 MHz SDRAM DIMMs

When i looked at the ram on newegg none of the ddr2 800 were 1.8v all where higher so i guess it cant be used if im reading it right

Question does all ram have gold plated contacts
What does this mean Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported

975 vs 965/ supports it out the box, need bios to support/ sheesh im getting a headache
