Hi guys, ive jsut built my system

E8400 @ 3.00Ghz (WIll be overclocking)
Biostar Tpower I45
4gb dual channel (2*2) OCZ gold series 1066mhz

my question is, when i plug in my ram.. and my system is up and running, how can i check that my ram is running at its supposed stock speed ? is their any cases when they arent at their stock, or am i talking rubbish ??

Also, when i look at overclocking, what sort of overclocks am i looking at with this ram for my Q8400...
