So it is a big let-down not to be able to run these modules on very popular boards.
What concerns me most is that IMHO Tarinder did not test these modules properly. I buy them so that I can run sync FSB 250, Tarinder did not get them up to that speed but gave them an 8/10. That does not look like proper reviewing to me. He should at least have tried on a P4C800-E which is the TwinMOS reference platform.
You must be reading some other review. I ran them at 246.5MHz to keep some kind of CPU speed parity with a 3.2GHz / DDR400 combination.
I also managed to hit 266MHz, as shown by the CPU-Z shot
