Memory for Badaxe2

[Bluecanoe]

Hi. I'm new to this forum & new to pc building. I'm confused about memory requirements for the Badaxe motherboard - the Intel website says it supports 1.8v & 1.9v memory. The memory I'm looking at is rated at 2.1v. Are they compatible?
Thanks for the help.

Intel BLKD975XBX2KR

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB)

It'll work, I have the Crucial Ballistix on my BX2

Thanks moosey,

Do you know what the numbers mean? Is the 1.8v/1.9v what the board supplies and the 2.2v the max voltage the memory is rated for?

Also what other componenets did you use in your build?

First off, look at Tigerdirect or Mwave for the board, they have the retail box version for less than the BLK at newegg. I got mine from tigerdirect. The main parts of my system were the BX2, the Ballistix and an e6600 processor also got a PC P&C Silencer 610 PSU.

The voltage #s, if I understand what you're asking, can be both. The ones on the memory are what it'll take to run at the rated speed. The board can supply a range of voltages above the usual 1.8v. Either way, the memory will be fine.
