I had 4x1 ballistix (ddr2 800) doing 420mhz 1:1 and I couldn't get anything else really stable over that. I had to pull a lot of volts, i think 2.3 or 2.35 and they blew out after 6 months of use.

My quad is capable of 3.78ghz + (I won't go past 1.55v in the bios) and I'm looking for the best bandwidth I can get for a 24/7 machine.

BUY? YES/NO?

EDIT: If I you guys think its worth it in my case, what is an ideal ratio to set the ram at? Most people here do not seem to be doing 1:1.
I'm in a similar situation to yours, but dual core not quad - my mobo absolutely hate having 4 slots populated. I preferred to have more than faster.
But now that I can have both, i'm going to put a good 2x2gig set and see the limits of my 6600.

Let me know your results.
