SLI Ready: What does this mean?

[mis3]

I read a good review on this memory: OCZ 2G (2 X 1GB) 800DDR2 SLI-Ready Edition DC (4-4-4-15) - OCZ2N800SR2GK

Is the name SLI-Ready just a marketing slogan? In other words, is this still a good choice if I do not plan on using dual video cards (no SLI)?

Another consideration is OCZ 2G (1G X2) DDR2800 Dual Channel Platinum REV 2 XTC Edition(4-4-4-16) - OCZ2P800R22GK

Any difference in performance between these 2 in a Q6600-G0 system?

this may help a bit

in short, it can help, if you have a mobo that supports epp, and you don't plan on manually overclocking

EPP is only available in a nVidia MB but not in a MB with Intel chipset, right? Too bad because I do prefer Intel chipsets.

If you don"t mind, please check the link below and give me a suggestion.

See, we Canadians have to pay more for our parts......

actually epp IS available on at least some of the intel chipsets...badaxe2 see's ballistix tracer epp as profile 1 in memory settings.

Intel has developed their own EPP usage standard called Extreme Memory Profile or XMP.

AMD/ATI has the potential for it with their Crossfire Certified lines but has not yet done it. I can only speculate that it will only be a matter of time until they do.
