I have the Intel D975XBX2 mobo, and the Intel E6700 processor is on it's way. I'm still trying to settle on memory. The mobo official specs are that it takes DDR2 800, 667, and 533 - DDR2 1000 is not listed. It also indicates it takes 1.8V and 1.9V DIMMS.
I do a lot of video editing, and moderate gaming. I'm not sure about overclodking, as I have never done it. However, I'd like to have the option to down the road if I decide to take that plunge.
So, I am trying to decide between several versions of Crucial memory. The options I'm looking at are as follows:
Crucial #CT2KIT12864AA80E, which is DDR2-800, CL=5, 1.8V.
Crucial Ballistix #BL2KIT12864AA804 - DDR2-800, 4-4-4-12, 2.2V.
Crucial Ballistix #BL2LIT12864AA1005 - DDR2-1000, 5-5-5-15, 2.2V.
The last two show higher voltage than the mobo spec sheet, and the last one shows a higher DDR2 rating than the mobo spec sheet. Does that mean these are not compatible? Or that the bios need to be tweaked for them to work and be stable?
Any feedback?
