I currently own a Crucial Ballistix 4-4-4-12 (2x1 GB) DDR2 800 RAM. I am upgrading my motherboard and I can either go with a DDR2 1066 based motherboard and upgrade my RAM (I can still return the old ones to the store) or get a DDR2 800 based motherboard and use the current RAM.
My question is, is it worth going for 1066 Mhz? Is there such a difference? From my understanding most 1066 RAMs are 5-5-5-15 so they are slower.
Also, when I look at the RAMs, they say 2.1v or 2.2v, but the motherboards never say what voltage they support. How can I be sure?
For instance, this motherboard:

Doesn't say anything clearly.
