Slow Ram?

[MetalHead]

Hi,

I have just purchased the Giga-Byte GA-P35C-DS3R with OcUK 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066Mhz Dual Channel Kit.

I put in my Core 2 Duo E6600 onto the Motherboard.

Now I've NEVER overclocked anything so i'm a complete nub and can you go gentle with me.

At the moment i've got the CPU running @ 2400Mhz 9x266 the bios reports that the Ram is running at 400Mhz i have experimented loads even read through the forums for solutions but i'm lost, can someone please point out the correct bios settings i need for the cpu and ram to run @ 1066Mhz as that is what i'd like it to run at seeing how thats why i bought this ram for my cpu which runs with 1066Mhz.

As i said i tried all sorts of settings i could think of so ANY help will be greatly appreciated.

Ok thanks for the info, i realised the ram speed is in fact 800Mhz it thinks it pc6400 whereas it's actually pc8500, considering it's actually running stable at stock (well it would wouldn't it lol) i'm going to leave it for now, i have read the sticky on overclocking and i'm gonna give this a go at the weekend when i got more time.

Again thanks for the feedback
