Got a RAM question..

[Nitemare]

This is my motherboard:

and this is the RAM I plan on upgrading to:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227210

Ok the thing is, the RAM is 2.6V but my motherboards specs say it supports 2.5V. Would the .1V make a difference? If so what would happen?

I doubt it would, plus you maybe able to turn the voltage up on the mobo.

If anything it would probably just slow the memory down. In all honesty though the FPS change won't be all that much.

Ram and mobo are fine, I don't think you'll see much of a difference between 1.6v and 1.5v. I have the sli version of that board and I have to say I really like it. :)

Ram won't give you better performance, because you're still going to have 2GB of ram. That RAM will only help you in CPU overclocking. So unless that is planned, buy something like input devices (a good gaming mouse like the Razer Copperhead, Good gaming keyboard, good gaming joystick). Or like a sound card. And if you do plan on overclocking, get ram with timings of 2-2-2-5. Crucial Ballistix is great cheap ram at 2-2-2-5 (it says 2-2-2-6 on newegg.com, but it's a typo), but unless you get DDR2 or higher than PC3200 DDR ram it only comes in 512mb sticks. OCZ gold or platnium ram with 2-2-2-5 timings are good, but expensive. Corsair XMS is the same as OCZ, good but expensive. THe best timings are the geil one, it has timings of 1.5-2-2-5. THose are for overclocking.
