Is there any 1.8 volt DDR 2 1066 memory?

There is no 1.8 volt 1066, right? It must be 2.0 volts or higher?

If a motherboard, such as, http://www.directron.com/gax48dq6.html, calls for 1.8 volt DIMM, will 2.0-2.1 volt DDR 2 1066 work if 1200, 1066, 800 and 667 are supported?

Pretty sure a high end board like that would do 2.0v RAM

A retailer's product description will only give you base specifications. Gigabyte has a web site with full specs and downloadable manuals. Link

The official standard for all DDR2 RAM is 1.8 volts. Higher clocked RAM almost always requires more than this to squeeze out the extra speed. The motherboard is an enthusiast product, and absolutely allows you to adjust voltage. Just remember to do so when you turn it on, as it is required to default to 1.8.

Thanks. If initially I do not overclock, I can just let it default to 1.8 volts and run at ddr2 800, right?

800 might want more voltage... you'll have to check the specs for the RAM when you buy it.

Would DDR2 800 take a E8400 to 3.6 easily?

It does it perfectly....1:1 ratio....400 X 9 = 3.6ghz. Have fun!
