hi i am looking to buy some OCZ memory for my PC. i have been on the crucial website and they say the ballistix below is ok for my pc

Specs: DDR2 PC2-6400 • 4-4-4-12 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-800 • 2.0V • 128Meg

the OCZ i am looking to buy is DDR2 PC2-6400 CL5 ( 5-5-5-18 ) 2.1V.

will either work as my existing memory is showing as 6-6-6-18 3-24-7-4 2T

As i have no idea what any of this means could someone point me in the right direction please.

regards

By the way my existing memory is running at 1.8 according to CPU-Z

thats wher i am gonna fall down. i have a poxy Dell with the BIOS locked so i cant change any of the settings. I have been looking for OC software but even the one i found is leaving me stumped. Just thought i might be able to bang some faster memory into my machine to help with my games

sorry yes it is DDR2

i have been looking around and all the decent stuff (Corsair, Geil, OCZ etc) seem to run at 2V + - 1V. The crucial scanner said their Ballistix would work in my board (it came up with the right machine) and that shows as 2V.
i think ill give that a go and start saving for a new board.

I have been trying to use rightmark CPU clock utility do you know if it is any good and what i might set with it on my Q6600 ?

thanks
