Why does the DDR2 model get 2.4vcore and not the P5E3 Deluxe?!?

Why does the DDR2 model get 2.4vcore and not the P5E3 Deluxe?!?

this is why:

DDR3 memory comes with a promise of a power consumption reduction of 30% compared to current commercial DDR2 modules, due to DDR3's 90 nm fabrication technology, allowing for lower operating currents and voltages (1.5 V, compared to DDR2's 1.8 V or DDR's 2.5 V). "Dual-gate" transistors will be used to reduce leakage of current

this is why:

i said Vcore i did not mean the VDIMM....

as he writes, it says vcore 2.4v... while p5e3 deluxe only got 1.70, THAT is what i dont get? and there are allready a maximus formula ddr2, with high voltage option too, so why cant the Deluxe model also get higher vcore, or is it just reserverd so everyone would by the Maximus Extreme? but why does the NOT ROG model of ddr2 get it? this doesnt make sense to mee..
