What is a safe voltage?

Im wanting to oc my ddr2 533 supertalent, will it fry at 2.2? Thanks, Max

It's probably not a good idea to take DDR2-533 memory and put 2.2V through it.

I'm assuming that memory doesn't have heatspreaders and it probably can't take the high voltages since it is low-end memory.

Stock DDR2 is 1.8V, I would try 1.9-2.0V and make sure you have good airflow. Some memory won't benefit much from higher voltages anyway.

If you are interested in a high memory clock, it may be worth it to just pick up 2GB of DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 for $30....

Its got heat spreaders, although they are aluminum, not copper. Ill try out 1.9 and 2, i put a number of 2.2 up there, because my mobos manual says to move the jumper to get 2.2 for over clocking. It warns to check with the manufacturer first, but supertalens site has nothing about it.
