Gibabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H

4 x 1.8V DDR2 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory (Note 1)
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR2 1200 (OC)/1066(Note2)/800/667 MHz memory modules

* No idea with Note 1 and 2 is...

I have been on all major memory sites OCZ, Crucial, Kingston etc etc and its just too confusing.

I need some ram that is DDR2 1200 around the £50-70 mark but its not as simple as that as theres all this voltage **** to worry about and if i use an AM2+ or AM3 cpu...

I'll be putting the Phenom 965 in this board along with the elite330/psu combo

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Please, some help guys.

ok thanks, i presume the 965 will support it no problems but if it did not it would default down to the 1066mhz or would it just fail to work.

EDIT:

Something like these will be fine, manually adjust the voltage in the BIOS to 2.1v.

You mean adjust to 1.8v as thats only what the mobo supports.
