pc8500 is no big thing on 4gb ddr2, i have that at 5-5-5-15 without trying! I'm sure I could hit 1100+ with some fiddling!
4gb @ 1200mhz 5-5-5-15 is impressive. I haven't seen any ddr2 sold over 1200mhz/anyone running ddr2 24/7 over 1200mhz - is this the limit of ddr2?
ddr3 doesn't do anything for me atm. It's nice it is getting faster with better latencys and cheaper. Let this trend continue and if those octocores are nice performers I'd be persuaded to grab one with ddr3.
