DDR2 RAM requiring 2.0 volts all put up in a row of three pulls really hard on a system's north bridge. So hard that you can only have a total of 4 banks of memory; that means only one DIMM can be double sided. This one, however, is able to handle twice the memory of the other two DIMM sockets. So, totalling 3 sticks hold 4 units of memory. This is why 2.0 volts can be handled on a unit like that. Now, if the north bridge is bumped up in voltage, it has enough force to make it through more than 4 banks, but risks burning out. I have my computer with 8 banks on four DIMMs, but the North bridge is set to 1.7 volts and the RAM is running at 1.9 Volts. That is not a mistake.
The point is, I have that ability to monitor and understand this. If it burns, or breaks i can fix it. For a computer built for someone else,I follow the rules.
