[SOLVED] [Huge mistake, DDR2 Voltage mismatch]

Hello, 

I wanted to upgrade my Potato PC a little bit by adding another 2x2GB sticks of RAM. well i pick same capacity, same frequency but.. after plugin it all in system won't boot.
I google it and found that additional memmory I just bought is mismached (it was used one, so can't really return it ;( )

What I got now:

2x2GB OCZ 
 

Series
Platinum Revision 2
Model
OCZ2P800R22GK
Speed
DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Cas Latency
4
Timing
4-4-4-15
Voltage
1.9V - 2.1V

2x2GB GoodRam

Model
GR800D264L6/2G
Speed
DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Cas Latency
6
Timing (not sure)
6-8-8-22
Voltage
1.8V

 

Well what I can see now, that event if I will be able to run thoose two It will be slower than my OCZ setup - but really need it to work out.

What should I setup and where to begin.

Thanks a lot,
Kesho

Solution was:

- make sure ram sticks are in "paired motherboard socets"
- upgrade BIOS to : http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5Q_Pro/P5Q-ASUS-PRO_1613.zip?_ga=1.222990171.1169464917.1460796883 which " P5Q PRO BIOS  1613 Fixed if plug 8G memory and set "Memory Remap" as disable in BIOS, it cannot enter 64bit OS. " (Here have also problem because in bios asus update software did not see my usb (had to format it to FAT (not FAT32) before)

- set Voltage to 1.9V

Thanks
