nforce 590/570 intel edition only 667mz DDR2 max?

Anyone can guess why this is?
Voltage regulations?
The Am2 nforce boards support 800mhz ram though.

That is wierd, cause all the EPP memory, which are catermade for the 590 board are all 800mhz or higher. Must be a mistake, I can't imagine that manufactures wont make 590 boards that wont support 1066mhz of ram.

From what I read about EPP is that it's a mobo feature that works with epp ram to auto configure memory properties like latency and voltage for most stable overlock. Sounds good, meaning no more trial and error as far as ram goes to get windows to be stable?
If the above is not really true then it's just another marketing scam.
