But with Core2 Quad, in multi-threaded scenario... its performance is simply abysmal.

Please run RightMark Multi-Threaded Memory test, here is the instruction:

You can also try to run Winrar multi-threaded bench.

Compare with similarly clocked memory on P35/X38 and see how bad 680i is!
But the idea of this thread has nothing to do with overclocking capacity, or even benchmarking for that matter.

It's about the ability to run tight timings like 3-3-3-4-1t and get wicked low latency like the above example.
