    i need a little help here. i bought 4 gigs of g.skill ddr2 f2-8500cl5d ram that have some decent timings and clock speeds. but at post its only showing 800mgz instead of 1066. i increased the voltage from 1.8 to 2.1 and still have the same speed and timing. its rated it 5-5-5-15. any help would be great full. thanks.

    1066mhz memory is just 800mhz memory that can be overclocked. You need to set the memory speed to 1066 in the BIOS yourself.
