Default Re: New Build GA-EP45-DS3 + Q9550

It is just me but I like to keep DDR2 @ 1.8v and I already have 4gb of the Corsair in my Sig system and it works fine at 1.8. Is there realllllllllllllllly that much difference in 800 to 1066?????? Is it reaaaaallly worth the extra $$, Volts & Heat??

Also Is it going to be the end of the world if I only use a 4 Pin CPU power Connector with the Q9550?
