Not quite accurate there Bro. Trinity has an MSI 790FX-GD70 MB & AMD Phenom-II X6 1090T. It's running G.Skill with XMP-1600 profile. Me thinks XMP had just been accepted into the market around the time the 7xx series chipset was developed, so AMD probably reserved XMP for the Mid/High End as a marketing ploy to boost sales of higher price point boards.
Btw Jed, you should remember this hardware as it used to be yours....!
