OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 / 400MHz / Platinum / Dual Channel

I was just checking out something on my memory I use from OCZ:

I noticed some information I had not see before.

V1.x = 2.6 Volts
V2.x =2.8 Volts

What do these V1.x = V2.x = mean?

I'm guessing version 1 and version 2. Odd, I have a kit like that and my board likes to run it at 2.7

There isn't an infinite supply of any given type of memory chip. If they became scarce, ran out, got more expensive, or something else happened, OCZ may have needed (or wanted) to switch the type of chips used in a given model of their RAM, and as a result they slapped a new version on it. As you can see, in this case it also comes with a change in power requirements.

They do this frequently. Many companies simply swap out the chips and don't put any indication on the hardware, making it difficult or impossible to know exactly what kind of chips is under there.
