Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit 2.2V in banks 3 and 4

to give me 3GB of memory in total

HI again

Just checked on Crucial web site and they have the same memory module BL2KIT12864AA663 to fit my board as OC do to upgrade

Just a bit unsure my board says upto 2.1 v and yet this module is 2.2v

So can i run the 2 x 512 in banks 1 and 2which is 1.9v and the new memory in banks 3 and 4 which is 2.2v

Would i have to manually change the voltage settings or would the board auto detect the voltage settings

Giving me a total of 3gb in my Asus P5AD2 motherboard

Cheers again
