Minecraft is less memory intensive now, you can run ~15 players off 1GB with some plugins easy

Depends how exploratory they are. Bare minimum is 50mb, but a lot of servers which run plugins run a lot of plugins so they tend to get way up on the memory fairly fast.

The Sandybridge platform should use 1.35v for best performance IIRC.

I'm fairly sure it was sandybridge that ran better with 1.5v

God damn, you're right

It runs fine with 1.65 V, but is on the limit of what the controller can handle and not ideal. 1.5 V is what be used in the general case for sandy bridge, but lower is always better and many new modules will be lower. The voltage does not affect the performance, just potential overclocking and timings etc.

All RAM will run at whatever clockrate and timings that the worst does. If I was the OP I would get the 1.5 V stuff with the slower CL=9 timings as it will be a closer match to what Dell put in there.
