Just a warning - the voltage on these (2.2v) is above the standard, and
whilst _most_ motherboards will be fine, some are not.

In particular the asrock 939 conroe isn't (guess who found this out).
Despite telling them, last I checked crucial still claimed it was
compatible (but asrock only went to 1.9v). They were good enough to
replace it for normal memory though, but as a result of their dreadful
"customer support" overclockers will never get another penny of my
money (unlike crucial whose customer support is absolutely first rate).
