All right, I've currently got 2gb ram (A-DATA 2x 1GB DIMMS 240-pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel timing: 5-5-5-18).
I upgraded to Windows Vista and I saw my computer's performance drop considerably. According to taskmanager, Vista is using 30% of my physical memory ALL the time. So... I assume that adding another 1gb of ram will boost my performance to at LEAST back to where it was BEFORE Vista.
However, I only want one 1gb and I want to go with the same brand, but the stick I want says its optimal voltage is 2.0-2.1v. My current ram 's optimal voltage is 1.8v +/- 0.1v (my mobo's lowest voltage for ram is 1.925v).
So... will I have stability issues if my new stick runs at 1.925v when the box says to run it at 2.0v?
(FYI: A-DATA ram does NOT like working outside its factory defaults, so increasing the voltage beyond 1.925v creates MAJOR system instabilities and therefore not a viable option.)
