It's because you run FOUR of them. The motherboard OFFICIALY support 1066 and that is what you can expect. And when you run FOUR DIMM's it a lot hardef for the motherboard so running 4 dimms at 1200 is a lot of strain and as you have noticed, it doesn't work all that well.
I have tried it myself with my 1125 MHz RAM's and it didn't even go stable at 1066 and THAT I would have expected though.
See above, as long as you run TWO sticks you can go VERY high. I have rached DDR1350 with Crucial ballistix. So the actual RATING of the DIMMS are not important at all. Just the fact that higher rated DIMMs are just higher rated and you can expect them to perform higher. It will still be an overclock for the motherboard but not for the DIMMs.
