I bought an Intel DG965OT motherboard for Conroe E6600 processor. Motherboard specification says ----
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.
Non-ECC DIMMs
DDR2 800 DIMMs with SPD timings of only 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 (tCL-tRCD-tRP)
Most of the memories like crucial ballistic, XMS2 and many other, need much higher operating voltages, and CL timings are much better.
This may be too basic, do I need to strictly search for RAM with just these specs i.e., 1.8V and 5-5-5.
Even if I buy say ballistic with CL of 4 and 2.1 V, will I be able to tweak settings on my motherboard for these ratings.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
