Intel Core i7 Review Thread

[Drwho?]

Hello Francois,
This is good news, actually, but in a german review can we see screens, where only DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 is available für 920, while the 965XE can be set to DDR3-1333, DDR3-1600, DDR3-1866 and DDR3-2133.

This confused us a bit.
Can you clear it up for us?

in the past, with Core 2, you could not down grade, so, when you was increasing the FSB, after a while, mem was becoming a problem on non extreme edition parts.
Here , you can increase the Bclock, while lowering the mem ratio, that will help in many case.

Got the point?
If you increase the bclock from 133 to 250, you would have need 2000Mhz DDRIII modules, and i am sure that you guy very quickly will pass 250 Bclock.
at this bclock, 800 ratio will be handy.

of course, all of this is at your own risk ...
