It is perhaps best to not confuse smoke with mirrors. The Intel CPUs require the higher-clocked power-hungry fully-buffered memory to make up for architectural problems. The Mac OS-X pin-wheels will not spin any faster with the higher speed memory. I suggest that stream benchmark results be consulted rather than a megahertz rating on a memory chip. Another useful benchmark is the SPEC OpenMP benchmarks. Actual system performance is all that matters. Anything else is just useless noise.
