It means Xtreme Memory Profile. What XMP does is, it allow your Motherboard BIOS to automatically configure the overclocked DRAM voltage and timing information instead of forcing you to do it manually. Though it does not guarantee stability.
You can use XMP RAM in non-XMP motherboards and you can use non-XMP RAM in XMP motherboards. In both cases you will simply have to set the timings and voltage manually if you decide to go outside of the recommended specifications.

Oh..Thanks.. That does make things clear for me. :)
In between,let me ask something else. I had 8GB (4x2) Vengeance with my AMD system, and I used to get WEI rating 7.3 for RAM. But one I put an i5 and a new mobo, it went straight to 7.9. It was then I noticed something like Intel XMP. So I was wondering if that had something to do with the performance increase.
