are you kidding about 1T!?...1T is fine if your ram can handle it like cell-shock memory, but the less expensive stuff has a more difficult time.

1T usually only gives you about 2% to 3% jump in data moving speeds...remember, tony is in the business to promote OCZ memory..that is his main concern; to work out problems with mobo makers to make sure OCZ memory will work...he knows how to maximize memory performance!...i think most of us inferior mortals need to work on maximizing MHZ first, then, work on maximizing your memory performance...sometimes there is a happy balance where you can back down on the Mhz by 50 or 100, to allow tighter memory settings that gives good overall performance.

the big change for intel will be the nehalem cpu comes with the MCH right on the CPU die..then, all things change for intel performance.
