Overclocking the FlexXLC memory to 1170MHz produced a memory bandwidth of 7.76GB/s, with the Core 2 Duo E6700 operating at 3.12GHz.

The Crucial 10th Anniversary memory was just 160MB/s slower, clocked at 1140MHz using a 380MHz FSB with the processor clocked at 3.04GHz. This tiny bandwidth increase will most likely have no impact on real-world performance, though the additional 80MHz processor frequency should provide the FlexXLC configuration with a slight performance edge.
