|  DDR2 memory speed and voltage?
The processor manual and the Gigabyte website indicates “1.8 volt DDR2 DIMM sockets”. Some of the 1066 memory modules I am seeing at new egg.com indicate 1.9, 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2 volts. If I leave the system voltage control in auto will the BIOS read the SPD and set the memory voltage higher (if needed)? I think it should but I don’t want to order something that won’t work.

No, I wouldn't bother. ddr2 800 is fine.
Before you replace the cpu make sure you update the bios to f8 or later using your old cpu.

| I believe those RAM would work fine at a lower voltage, but at a slightly slower speed. What the mobo will do based on the settings in SPD, and what is in the SPD, is anyone's guess. As above, faster memory may not wortjh the extra $$.
