Hello, I have a friend that is wanting to add more ram to his computer. Thing is the computer is using OCZ SLI DDR2 800 5-4-4-15 ram that runs at 2.1v and that is no longer being made and it seems like all the decent deals on DDR2 ram is for 1.8v and/or with worse timings. Would any 1.8v ram work, or would some 1.8v run to hot at 2.1v? I was thinking about trying to under volt the current ram but I was hopeing to find something that would just work out of the box.

Basically can I get some suggestions on 2x1GB or 2x2GB DDR2 ram with preferbly higher stock voltage requirements or ones that are known to run well at 2-2.1v? He is also planning on getting another hard drive so if anyone knows of a combo deal with the ram and a 1TB or larger hard drive that would be nice to.

This is his current ram

Here's a link to some kingston ram that might work for you, it's 1.95 volt, so it should be ok at 2.0 or 2.1 volts. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104020
I really recommend selling the OCZ ram and buying a 8 GB kit for the motherboard instead.
That way you won't have to worry about any issues trying to run mismatched memory.
If you prefer to use the same exact OCZ modules i found one store that still has some in stock.. http://www.aztekcomputers.com/OCZ2N800SR4GK-OCZ-TECHNOLOGY-906243.html

Hope this helps, Good Luck!
