I had the stick very briefly, so obviously I did not run it very long. I guess if, initially, the samsung does not like high FSB and vdimm, then you are probably right.
I just have had people buy the samsung 2700's and never get much overclock, they would never think to burn in the ram. The samsung I did have was someone else's and I told them they might want to do some benchmarks; however, "they do not have the time" and I do not really care.
Other than that, the benchmarks on various sites, obviously not vr-zone's, never show samsung on top (some of them show it on the bottom). I guess it is possible that they did not burn them in. That is one too many hypothetical situations for me to accept that the samsung is best. If in your situation it has performed well, then you have obviously settled the issue for yourself. Until I get my hands on some more samsung sticks, I will remain undecided on that issue; however, you have made me change my view somewhat, since I will no longer consider them bottom of the barrel in the overclocking category (for stability at stock settings I have always thought samsung to be the best).
I never did get my question answered. Why is this in motherboards section? He said on a side note that the memory he wants to get will be for a granite bay. Just a side note. We need a memory section for this forum. It is fine to post in overclocking if you are overclocking RAM. If you are not, then there should be a place to ask questions about how they compare (Aldaris2002 never directly said that he wants to overclock).
