That's fairly accurate as far as I can see.

And we simply do not know what faster memory brings for the phenom II, untill someone actually does some benchmarks with both types of memory.
Your pro-intel speculation is predictable and useless.

I wonder what you will throw at me next. More links that have absolutely nothing to do with the subject? More speculation about how faster memory will do next to nothing for Phenom II?
How about we skip all that, do you have anything that does make sense, if even slightly?
So all the noise was for nothing? It could be a platform issue for all we know; I mean who knows if the chipset had problems supporting three beefy gpus and 4GB Ram at 1066? Point is no one has tried this yet, so let's not be quick in condemning. PII is a good cpu for extreme overclockers; it loves cold, it overclocks like a wolfdale, and it's cheap so you can kill one every week and your finances would be relatively same.

Came close to picking a 940 at the Microcenter on Sunday, but I want to wait out and see what Intel does first.
