Will 8GB(4x2GB)PC2-8500 draw alot more power than 4GB(4X1GB)PC-3200?

I know this might be a odd and obvious question but does 8GB(4x2GB)PC2-8500 draw alot more power than 4GB(4X1GB)PC-3200?

I ask because I'm pondering if I should jump on a new PSU right away because in my new setup the ram is the only thing there might be a major difference power consumption wise.

What is your current PSU?

Not sure if memory voltage is significant enough to matter. Hopefully someone can chime in and answer.

I'm on a Antec EA500 500W 80+ running a AM2 5000+ (oc'ed to 3.2), 4GB(4X1GB) PC-3200, GTX260, and 2 hard drives and will be going to a 775 8500, 8GB(4x2GB) PC2-8500 with the rest of the parts staying the same. Its a been a champ so far.

DDR RAM was specced at 2.3V IIRC. DDR2 RAM was specced at 1.8V. So no it won't use more power.

Regardless of whether or not it uses more power, you're still nowhere near the limits of your PSU so you have nothing to worry about.
