P5N-E SLI + 8500 is it possible?

I've been trying to get this ram to work at 1066 with a 1:1 ratio for a very long time now and it just will not work.

Can anyone help?

What ram are you using?

1:1 means youd be running the RAM @ 533MHz

Ballistix 8500.

your bus speed is 400mhz i assume as it says in your sig? that means that if your ratio is set 1:1 your ram speed will be 400mhz, so you need to up the bus speed to 533mhz? although the chip probably won't do that so to run your ram at full speed u need to run a 1:1.33 ram ratio?

Just updated.

That is what im currently running at. And at 1T not 2T

This way it makes the system stable.

If i force 533mhz i cant get the ratio to 1:1 unless i put the FSB to 2132, which my cpu cant do.
