Basically you're buying RAM that was tested by the manufacturer to be able to run at specified overclocked settings. The standard SPD data specification doesn't allow for some of these settings. Thats why it defaults to a very conservative setting. You need the EPP extensions to be able to automatically set everything. Even Crucial say that you may need 1-2 setting changes to handle EPP.

EPP isn't the same as SPD. It specifically says EPP?

No clue why it doesn't work for you though.
