Looks good dude, I have 4x1gb of that memory and it runs at 2.18v at 500mhz 4-4-4-12 or up to 550mhz or higher 5-5-5-15 with that same voltage.

With 2x1gb sticks it will do 600mhz 5-5-5 with the same voltage no problem.

Remember that this board over volts the ram a hair but its not to much and it only does it under full or heavy loads.
