Hey, I was wondering currently I have 4GB of OCZ Reaper Edition RAMs that run at 800MHZ (PC2-6400) with 2.0V, now I have spare of Corsair RAMs that are 1GB that also run at 800MHZ (PC2-6400) with 1.8V, can I put them together and able to run it to make my RAM 5GB. Is there is a chance that since the BIOS is set to run my OCZ RAMs at 2.0V it might overheat the Corsair RAMs by over-volt and burn them, or there would be a seperate volt option for my Corsair RAMs appear on the BIOS?

There is no separate volt option.
Heres a few options:
1) keep your current 4gb RAM
2) add the other sticks, set voltage to 1.8V, timings to whatever the corsait run at
3) add the other sticks, see if 2.0V fries them

What OS are you running, anyway?

I just read on the corsair's ram manual that the ram can actually support up to 2.1v so i am good at 2.0v with all my rams running in dual-channel assymetric. 5GB woohoo some more boost for the vista 64bit lol.
