I was curious just how these sticks would do so I bought a set to try them out. Well I was pleasantly surprised. I did the following Sisoft Sandra benchmark tests with them on my current E4300 and MSI P6N Platinum mobo.

I have these same sticks and I can confirm that they do not overclock very well. Early sticks were reported to be D9's but it's obvious that these aren't anymore. Especially now that the price is hitting the bottom so quick. There's no way these are Micron D9's now.
They're not dogs though...
I lost respect for Imus back when he and O'Reilly were calling Matt Drudge a crack head. But even still, he's kissing way too much ass over this.

Those boards max out at a little over 300mhz on the fsb. I can't remember exact figures but with liquid cooling you can get around 320-335mhz. I just retired my Opty 165 and SLI-DR board but I can hook it up again if you need some settings. I gamed on it for almost a year no problem @ 2.7. on air.
Currently at 3.2ghz. I've gone to nearly 3.4 on air.
