[Pc_Support] Intel chipset-only DDR2 800 (PC6400)

Just FYI, I've been reading a lot of complaints about DDR2 800 (PC6400)
modules that are Intel chipset-only.  I.e., not only do they not work at
the rated speed/timing for the new AMD Socket-AM2 (940) platform, but
they do _not_ work with Intel processors on ATI, nVidia or SiS chipsets
either.

Most people have had to reduce the memory clock to 533 (PC4200) and/or
change the voltage to non-JEDEC standard to get them to work in any
non-Intel chipset.  Again, not merely non-Intel processor, but Intel
processor in non-Intel chipset too.

Again, just FYI.
