Oh, I'm doing this with 4x2GB too.... go figure!

Is what I said..... I dunno what your citing from that, because it clearly says 45nm Quads, and it says there isn't much difference being reported between X38 and P35 overclocking of 45nm chips... If you would like to show me a link saying otherwise,then sure I will take the time to look at it, but what you showed in your few screen shots even say Rampage Formula in CPU-Z except for one.

This is actually the only screenshot that doesn't say "Rampage Formula"

I havent seen too much with Dualcore 45nms since the hot thing to have/play with is Quadcore.

And the fact you keep bringing up 4x2GB RAM is pretty moot point as well, since all that takes to get stable is increased NB/Mem controller, maybe tuned timings/settings and dram voltage depending on what kinda overclock your working with.... I could say im working on 4x2GB too, it really doesnt mean anything about 45nm clocking, so I dunno why you keep bringing it up like its an accomplishment or rarity to see on X38.

I see this DDR2 1000 "pushed" to 1066.... considering thats not really that far away its not really anything to claim performance from, or that its increased overclocking prowess to get. (still at a loss as to what you mean by this 4x2GB posting)

Also I think you may of misconstrued what I was saying when I said X38 doesnt clock any better than P35... You seem to think I said they werent good at it...when I said 45nm Dualcores will probably hit about the same on either platform in the 4ghz mark, we all know they can do high FSB.... If you would better explain what you quoted the end of my original post for, I could probably better serve you in terms of a conversation.
