I hate to burst your bubble, but you're wrong. There are only two distinctions for memory right now: DDR2 or DDR3. Phenoms will use one of those two, and multiple memory manufacturers sell RAM in both the DDR2 and DDR3 variety. Example brands:
Patriot
G.Skill
OCZ
Crucial
I guarantee all of those manufacturers to create and sell memory that functions with your Phenom II.
I am having a very nice day. I'm sitting in a neighborhood pub, having a delicious local microbrew, having just ate a very satisfying breakfast. I'm surrounded by people working, a blues guitarist is quietly playing in the background. It's a beautiful day outside, and downtown Detroit is brilliant.
I work for OCZ, a memory manufacturer. As long as you buy DDR2 or DDR3, whatever your board holds, the memory will work with your Phenom II.
What motherboard are you using?
You work for OCZ?
TELLZ ME WHAI DUZ MY PLATINUM DDR2-1000 ONLY RUN AT 900 STABLE SIR!!!!!!!!111111one

Bull aside, I don't really care. I KNOW it's overclocked DDR2-800. Anything overclocked isn't guaranteed to hold the same speed as it gets older. Besides, the kingston DDR2-667 modules would probably have some kind of fit at 1000. By rights they shouldn't even be stable at 900, but they are. Until they explode and burn, anyway.
Oh, it's probably too late for that. I've owned them for more than a year. Couldn't run them full speed on my original mobo (Asus P5NSLI) due to a weird bios glitch that even OCZ had trouble figuring out, and recently got a gigabyte mobo and even though the system will post and attempt to boot at DDR2-1000 5-5-5-18 2.1v, it definitely isn't stable... get errors very quickly in prime95 blend.
Edit - P5NSLI was actually two boards ago, and before this ram. My bad. I fried that one. Most recent one was an Asus P5KC, and that's the one I was thinking of. I fried that one, too. That's where I derived my current title from.

Don't blame me, I didn't do it
What about my posts are confusing? Nobody makes Phenom II-specific memory. Nobody.
Memory is, well, memory. They're two quite different components of your computer.

What motherboard are you using?
WHO MAKES THE TIRES FOR FORD FOCUS?
The answer: Almost every tire company makes tires that will work for the ford focus.
WHO MAKES THE MEMORY FOR THE PHENOM II?
The answer: Almost every memory company makes memory that will work with the Phenom II
A list of DDR2 manufacturers. If your motherboard uses DDR3 instead, just google "DDR3 manufacturers".
There's still no Phenom-specific memory being manufactured. None.
Phenom II are still processors.
Have a nice day.
Also, posting in epic thread.
I wish I could multi-task
If that's the question, the answer is AMD.
