best solid memory for DS3

[zenogias]

Hi, I am planning to get a DS3 and a E6300 from newegg, and I have read that it requires 1.8v memory. However, I'd like to get two gigs (2x1gb) of ram, and most ram says 1.9 or 2.2 or whatever. Does the voltage matter? Which ram should I get? I do not need to OC, I just want stability.

Thanks in advance

Corsair XMS2 5300 or 6400

From forums, it seems like this memory works well with the DS3 board.

I bought this G.Skill and it booted fine.

G.Skill seems to have better By Spd timings which help booting in low voltage situations. You can then go into your bios, up the voltage, and lower the timings to the rated speeds. Personally, I'd buy G.Skill. I have OCZ right now, but I got it because it was a great deal at the time and I couldn't turn it down .

I have that same exact G.Skill ram, its nice stuff for the price! They booted on an early version BIOS which only gave 1.8v default. (f1 or f2 I think) The newer BIOS's give more voltage when set to Auto. (default)
