According to Kingston's datasheets (pfd), the rated voltage is 2.5 +- 0.2. I'm rather surprised that it couldn't handle 2.8V, but some memory just doesn't like high voltages (I believe OCZ's Winbond chips is one of them? - correct me if I'm wrong here, but they work best at 2.7V).

for those who order this chip... word of advice, keep the voltage low... I set it at 2.8 and both were burnt, I would think... they wouldn't work at high speed anymore, still works just won't work at high speed... after I took them out and they smelled like burnt chips! wondering why it still works though..... I wouldn't suggest going over 2.7 (but maybe 2.7 will kill it too?) just a word of caution, note that this happened to both of the sticks. both still works, but both fails prime95 in matter of minutes where my pc2100 and 2700 will do fine. and I did take them apart 1 stick tested at a time..
