Loads of people have had success with the RAM I specified in my article, despite the 1.8/1.9 volt issue, and by July 2006 Intel had allegedly released a new BIOS update that was claimed to use the RAM's SPD (Serial Presence Detect) feature to auto-select 1.8 or 1.9 volts. This was confirmed by other builders who could now boot with 1.9-volt RAM for the first time after flashing this BIOS, and this Corsair RAM/motherboard combination has since been employed successfully by a lot of different builders.
Indeed, on-line retailers are still selling this combination e.g. www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-004-OK
So, unless you've discovered any on-line reports that disprove the success of this motherboard/RAM partnership I'd go for it!
