although four sticks will never give the performance capability that two sticks will
Gotta keep you in your toes Mr. Linderman.

Seriously though, I was looking at buying the exact same HyperX RAM when we had an earlier discussion about DDR1066 and OCing, and wanted to make sure it was able to handle a Vdimm of atleast 2.1v. I just couldn't justify the additional cost at since my XMS DDR800 is doing a pretty good job running @ 890mhz. (Although I'm not completely sure that it's not the cause of my OC becoming unstable from time to time)

I would also bump the Vdimm up to 2.1v. You might even be able to crunch your timings back down with the Vdimm increase.
