Built a new system, and got a few issues.

I bought 2 2 gig sticks of PC2-8500...CPU-Z is picking them up as PC2-6400.

Any ideas? I got the voltage turned to 2.1v, and 1 stick in the black slot, one in the yellow, had 2 in the yellow before, same thing showed...not sure whats going on, heh

Any suggestions? Would greatly appreciate it

Edit: Running windows 7 64 bit if that makes any difference...

Yeah this is easy, all you have to do is go into bios, and up the ram frequency to whatever you want. In this case, 1066.

You'll probably have to manually input the RAM timings as well, your motherboard isn't detecting their speed by default. It's not the RAM causing it, it's the motherboard, but the fix is easy. Just set it manually and you should be a'ok.

Have fun. :D

K so the timings I manually set, they were 5, 7, 7, 20, 32, set to 5, 5, 5, 15, 26, dram frequency is still saying 533.3 MHz, not sure if that ones supposed to say 1066 or not, and still as PC2-6400, is that supposed to change or forever be wrong? o.0
