SLI Ready Memory ...

I don't get the concept of SLI Ready Memory, (noob) did some research but didn't come up with anything. I bought these mem sticks:

I experimented with it, did a 10% OC on my Q6600 so its 2.6GHz, I enabled the SLI Ready option to 2%, I believe, and it brought it down from 2.6GHz back to 2.4GHz. So then I just turned it off and put my Q6600 back to what I had it on. Anyone have any idea what this SLI Ready Memory option is and/or what it does?
 
Enabling SLI-Ready memory set the ram timings and voltage for you.

There is a special section of the SPD called an EPP profile. SLI-Ready on the motherboard reads this profile off the ram module and sets up the board according to the ram manufacturers specs, for that model.

I have some of that stuff and I love playing with memory settings but I must say that how the SLI memory options get listed confuses the hellz outta me

But like Mr. OCZ said all it is really is another version of SPD timings - only certain memory modules have them and only certain motherboards can/will read them. They are there for the "extreme" voltage/timings/clocks the MFG set for the modules.

The safest bet IMO is to go in and manually set the memory. The ensures the rest of your OC is left intact and you then *know* what the settings are as you did it.
