DDR2 8500 showing up as 6400

[msaunders]

Hi

Just was lookin in CPU-Z v1.44.1 today and I noticed my Crucial Ballistix 8500 RAM is showing as PC2-6400 (400MHz) . Is that because I have the RAM set to 800MHz in the BIOS or is it telling me my ram IS PC2-6400 ?

Also FSBRAM is 5:6

Is that bad or good ? What is optimal ?

Cheers
M

Hi

Yeah I have tried too before (1066) but the board doesnt like it . System reboots and lockups . This is my second round of 4x1GB setups and both havent liked runing at full speeds. 800mhz was a compromise .......
