No, go read the OP source again.

They are new PI series, you can tell by the heatspreaders and the obvious PI symbol.

PI = 3.14159265.....

Nothing a simple BIOS update can't solve and if it really can't run on 1366, 1156 isn't that far behind anyway. I like integrated PCI-E lane.

Umm, iirc, when 1366 first came out they said the highest it could support was 1066, now it supports up to 2000MHz, so yeah, a BIOS update will solve compatibility problems on i7 mobos.

*edit* G.Skill has 2300MHz dual channel memory on their site already.

Hmm, I'll look into that. If it's true that'll be great because I'll go 1156 for my next high-end build. Gotta love the on-chip PCI-E lane, since I'm never going to use more than 1 card anyways.
