hi my mobo says it supports 4x667/800 mhz 1.8v ddr2 ram

i currently have 2x1gb unbranded 667mhz 5-5-5-15 i think; dunno about voltages i just plugged them in

i experienced choppy sound in crysis which led to game lagging, now im considering getting another 2 slots and i saw these OCZ which are 800mhz and 4-4-4-15

they had 1.8v listed but when i clicked on them it says 1.9-2.0 Volts

if i get them running at 1.9v will they only overheat my mobo? or they can damage the motherboard or themselves?

also will the upgrade really increase my performance? and if i leave the unbranded rams plugged to the 2nd channel will they decrease the OCZ performance by running all at 667 even if they are on different channels?
