Your point stands however.I don't think that OC memory will give a worthy performance benefit at over 30GBs.Lower latency might be a winner.

On a similar note , I'd expect the Nehalem IMC to be more sensitive to memory and especially voltage.Because it is incorporated into the CPU , it is made with 45nm.That causes problems when linked to higher voltages needed for RAM links ( 1.5V ).Being in the chipset alleviated this problem since chipsets are usually on n-1 or n-2 process tech which matches better the voltages used in RAM.
yeah i have thought about that, i really would be disappointed if i could us, lets say 1.9V DDR3 2000 on nehalem if that voltage would fry the imc or other thigs that are related to it.
