The higher rating is only because of running at higher 1.6 v..

Why not run cheaper memory at 1.6v to get same performance ?

There are plenty of higher-bandwidth memory rated at 1.5v. Samsung/Crucial come to mind.

You can.., if you know, what you are doing. It's a mixed bag, though.

NB: The more quality RAM shouldn't be rated above 1.5v.
