I Have 3GB of this ram

and in my bios its fsb speed (unlinked to cpu) is stating 666 (or 667)

whats going on? :((
 
oaky, i think im going to go back to 2GB for now and run dual channel

But i still would like my ram to be running at either 800mhz or 1066 rather than 667 :(

im unsure of how to do this

i tired linking them 5:4 ratio but i was only able to use 1333fsb speed = this gave 1066mhz ram and 3.16GHz cpu ( i want 4Ghz cpu )
 
i dont think i can change my bus speed, when i put the ratio 1:1 and put the fsb to 1691 for my 4Ghz cpu it puts the ram to that as well :/ or am i being stuppied?

Some people will argue that single channel is only "5%" slower than dual channel... but from my experience it makes for far longer loading times and generally less responsive system.

Your going to lose a bit on a 32bit system but personally I'd rather have a nicely rounded out dual channel and as much of 4gig as I can use.

Incase it wasn't clear from my earlier post - you have to bare in mind that the 1066 and 667 clocks stated are the DDR rated speed... (double data rate) and 333MHz as shown in CPU-z is the base frequency of the RAM which you have to double to get the DDR rated number.

Very helpful :) thank you

The FSB is quad pumped - so if you set it to 422MHz (like it is now) the effective speed will be ~1690MHz. However, the effective RAM speed is only doubled (due to DDR) - so it would run at 844MHz if you set the base bus clockspeed to 422MHz and used a 1:1 divider.

omg right. im trying that now! brb :D
