couple questions about regarding this memory

I found this memory from Geil. My first question is, how do you guys think it will do for OCing?Second, If I built a PC with a motherbaord that has a P965 express chipset, would it be compatible? I ask this because it is using 1.9V, and is 4-4-4 timing, and the notice on every single motherboard sporting the P965 express chipset says it only supports DDR2800 with 1.8V, and 5-5-5, or 6-6-6 timingscouple questions about regarding this memory
anyone?couple questions about regarding this memory
OC%26#39;d RAM is overrated and rarely worth it. Money%26#39;s better spent on more RAM, better CPU, or better GPU. And if your mobo only supports limited voltages and memory timing why bother with RAM to overclock it? But otherwise from the comments on Newegg it looks like it OC%26#39;s nicely. And if you really want this RAM best get a mobo that supports it and has good support for RAM OC%26#39;ing.

There aren%26#39;t too many motherboards out there that only support those settings - those might be all the motherboard will recognize without going into your BIOS, but I can%26#39;t think of any P965 retail boards that don%26#39;t allow you to tweak/overclock your RAM to run DDR2 800 RAM @ 4-4-4-12 w/ 1.9v if that%26#39;s what they%26#39;re specified to be able to. You may have to go into your BIOS to get those settings, but since you%26#39;re thinking about overclocking anyway, that shouldn%26#39;t be a problem for you.
