Can a 3rd-party pcb 512MB samsung memory stick take 2.8v???

[PhobMX]

Yes, i know the ram i got is crap but i really wanted 512mb, if it can take me to 166Mhz fsb with my cpu im all ok, i'm asking this because i want to burn-in this stick and try to suck its mediocre potential. I've heard lots of ppl claiming that quality ram like corsair maxes out at 2.8v, can my crappy stick of ram take it without egg cookin??

put like a fan blowin over it just in case then there shouldnt b a problem..

is it worth the increase in mhz for the loss on timings?
