Class-leading memory-overclocking capability makes EVGA's P55 SLI our choice for today’s stability tests.
Intel’s Core i7 800-series devices are the only LGA 1156 processors to support a DRAM multiplier of 6x base clock, which is required to reach DDR2-1600 without overclocking the processor’s core. Our Core i7-870 came courtesy of Intel.

Lets not forget 64 bit too eh Rab1d-BDGR ?
what are the timings they refer to... Can someone please explain what the are and how to interpret them?
I've got 2gb 4-4-4-12 DDR2 800 (PC2 6400).
Say I've got a mother board that holds ddr2/3 - Would I see much of a change in frame rate if all the other parts stayed the same?
There is no real difference in speed with memory. This just increases performance for larger applications. You will see maybe a change of 1 or 2 fps in games. Is it really worth it? You must remember that the speed of the memory means that it accesses faster. But if the memory isn't always accessed, then it will make little real difference.

Thank you so much....really appreciated
A little footnote to anyone with triple-channel DDR mobos - if you are thinking of putting three of these kits into your machine for a whopping 24GB of RAM then make sure you are using Windows 7 pro/ent/ult - "Home premium" is limited to 16GB of RAM....If you're rich and/or crazy enough to spend that much on RAM then I'm sure the more expensive OS is small change. :-/
Or Linux.
Look at this loser company Patriot trying to attain credibility and status by charging more for their crappy produce.
reported. for all the good it seems to be doing!
