Just purchased an Intel D915PBL motherboard, Im tryin to buy RAM for it and the only problem im having is with the RAM voltage. I could purchase 1.8 volt RAM (intel's webpage says it must be this voltage) from crucial or whatnot, ooor I could save some money and get PQI RAM, which is listed as 1.9 volt. is the voltage going to make a diff? I dont want to buy something that messes up my board, but I heard that PQI RAM kicks butt anyway. any imput is awesome... thanks (oh yeah, looking to get a 512 stick PC4200 DDR2)
