Since the Asus M2N32 SLI Deluxe/Wireless I originally wanted is so expensive, I'm looking at this MSI board, seen here. However, I am a little concerned with this statement from MSI's site. Link to mobo

Supports 1.8v DDR2 SDRAM DIMM
Due to the High Performance Memory design, motherboards or system configurations may or may not operate smoothly at the JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) standard settings (BIOS Default on the motherboard) such as DDR2 voltage, memory speeds and memory timing. Please confirm and adjust your memory setting in the BIOS accordingly for better system stability.
Example: Kingston HyperX DDR2-800 PC6400 operates at 2.0V, 4-4-4-12.
For more information about specification of high performance memory modules, please check with your Memory Manufactures for more details.

Does that mean I can increase the RAM voltages higher than 1.8v? The Corsair EPP DDR2-800 RAM I intend to purchase is rated at 4-4-4-12 at 2.1v.

Memory voltage - 1.80?2.45 V at 0.05V steps

From digit-life

As the top model is identical to the previous one (including the same BIOS version), except for the installed chip of the core logic and SLI support (x8 + x8), there is no need to list its features separately.
