    Intel Extreme Memory Profiles

    Does anyone know if Intel Extreme Memory Profiles work with NVIDIA boards like the upcoming 790i or only with Intel boards like the X48?

    I am considering buying 2 GB CORSAIR DDR3 1600 PC3 12800 TWIN3X2048-1600C7DHXIN, but havent made up my mind on the motherboard yet.

    Thanks! So to clarify for an Intel board I should get:

    TWIN3X2048-1600C7DHXIN

    For a NVIDIA board I should get:

    TWIN3X2048-1600C7DHX
