Hi,

Yesturday evening i built a new computer consisting of:

Asus P5Q-Pro
Q6600 G0 (Retail)
Kingston HyperX 4GB 8500
Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer

All the other components were from my last PC.

Now once Windows XP was installed, i checked CPU-Z (latest) and came across a few things that confuses me. The first was the clock speed adjusting. Now i understand the purpose of this feature, but what exactly do i need to turn off in the BIOS to remove all features of Speedstep? (for overclocking later)

The second thing that confuses me is this:

How come the memory is only at 400? I thought 800Mhz RAM would be at 400, and 1066 RAM (which i have) would be 533? Is this because i havent set anything up in the BIOS as of yet? And also, the last part of the memory timing is wrong (18 when i believe it should be 15 according to ocuk site) Again, is this something i have to set up myself? Also, why does it say that the memory speed does rate above 400?

Thanks a lot matey. :)

Will manually adjust timings and see how it goes. Need to get learning about all of the Intel jargon. Been on AMD for years! :eek::D
