Memory voltage

Hi and happy Crimbo to all you MSErs

I have a rather oldish mobo (ASrock P4i65g) and am currently using 2 x 512 mb RAM. I am looking to increase this to 2mb (2x 1gb) BUT I am not sure about the voltage required. I have sen a paidr on Ebay for just over 30gbp and the voltage states its 2.5v. Does it matter if I get this rather then to pay out for an expensive one such as Crucial's one which is rated at 2.6v?

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Better in my pocket than theirs!

    ddr 1 memory is meant to be 2.5 volts, the high end stuff lets you raise the voltage so it can acheve higher clock rates but if you aint an overclocker its fine.
