Your setup has 8GB of DDR3 RAM split into two 4GB sticks, which is standard. Checking CPU-Z can help confirm compatibility and performance. Everything should function correctly as long as the sticks match in speed and controller type.

unless it's 133MHz, but that's quite low—consider switching to a 1333 or 1600MHz setup

His voltages are unclear or inconsistent.

A few DDR3 modules measured 1.5, others were around 1.35, which is typical. Not every motherboard supports both types.

According to memory, the 1.35v units were initially built for servers.

That's a fun phrase! It sounds like a playful way to express a feeling or idea. What do you mean you want it rewritten?

Many of my Dell machines operate at 1.35 volts, but they become unstable when voltages aren't consistent. Even when RAM modules match, performance gains are minimal and vary based on the task. Right now, my setup keeps the quicker RAM at the slower one's rate, but upgrading to faster DDR3 RAM only slightly boosts gaming performance.
