I hope they work for Intel cpu's as well, don't know how/why certain RAM is made for one or the other but it's not cool if it is AMD only.

(yeah, wish I had the money for higher rated memory...)

Well strictly speaking, no motherboards 'support' this. A lot of motherboards don;t even officially support ~DDR2-8000.

But if the board is capable of high FSB's or has some decent memory dividers, then you should be able to run it at that speed without problems. It's really just designed to give you oodles of overclocking headroom.
