RAM voltage

[biker9075]

So I've decided to add another 2 gigs of ram in my system to make it 4gb total. And I wanted to use the same brand and everything that I have now (Crucial Ballistix PC2 6400). However, they have made a revision to it from what I have now, they made the voltage 2.0v instead of 2.2v which is what mine runs at now. my question is will this cause any problems. And should I just change the voltage on all of them to make them all run  the same?

I would be surprised if the latency was the same on the second set, is it ? And you can only set the voltage as a whole, so the weaker, or slower will yield to the more powerful.

Can you post the specs ?

New ones:

Tech Spec

Capacity 2GB (2 x 1GB)

Speed DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Old ones:

I think I'll just order a set of the old ones from ebay

Yea, the new ram is more efficient , but can't be by much you know, if you could get the older ram, I would do that.  I'm sure it's not even really old at all anyway is it ?

Its not really old, just the older revision i guess you could say. I found a brand new set (1GB x 2) on ebay for about 48 bucks with shipping though so that works.
