I'm looking at purchasing some "DDR2 RAM memory" which has a voltage of 2.1v.
How do I know if the motherboard I'm considering will accept this voltage.......or does it matter?
Do I have to "match" the mother board voltage to the memory voltage? If so, how?

I'm looking at the Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H mother board if that helps.

You are talking of high performance RAM that works best on high end or enthusiast motherboards. It may not work on most retail motherboards.
Regular ddr2 works at default voltage of 1.8. Most retail motherboards have memory voltage adjustment up to 2.0V. Enthusiast and high-end motherboards have voltage adjustment up to 2.3V, a few, a bit higher.

Hi. Some motherboards allow you to change the voltage to various components. This is set in BIOS. Check if you can support the voltage you need before buying the RAM.

memory voltage is important.
ddr1 operates at 2.5v = generates more heat
ddr2 operates at 1.2v = less heat
most new motherboards runs ddr2 on them, if you're gonna
buy a computer, look for one that says DDR2 memory and your memory module should be a DDR2 too!
