Am I running my ram the most efficiently?

As has already been said, you need to run a 1:2 divider (or is it 2:1, I forget...) in the bios to sync 1066Mhz ram with a 1066Mhz Intel FSB, because Intel FSB's are quad pumped.

To truly run 1:1 you need a crazy OC on the FSB, the board might not be too happy... Wink

In any case, for the most part faster memory than DDR2 800 means little to nothing on Intel C2D/Q systems, as the CPU doesn't seem to benefit at all from faster memory due to it's frugal architecture and P3 based (not P4) heritage.
