Looking for a chipset which can have a high FSB yet low RAM

Normally hit a 3.8-4.2 OC pretty easily, but the thing which is maxing out is the RAM. The lowest divider the 965 does is 1-1, so I was wondering what other chipsets could be used instead?

This is a setup for customers, so price is quite a big factor. Of course if it can be justified...
 
The nvidia chipset boards can do it...

680i and 650i, they allow for unlinked mem and fsb settings so you can clock your ram lower than your fsb
