Corsair is top notch for customer service!

Memset will show as an alternative: http://www.tweakers.fr/memset.html

In your bios, there should be a section to change the FSB/RAM ratio. It might say something like RAM frequency or link/unlink.

Oops. You only have two slots. So buy the OCZ, save $100 and buy a new mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128358

Thanks Mike. I don't know how anyone can run Everest, SuperPi, or any other objective measurement program and think 1:1 is best on an Intel platform.

+1 on Everest (trial edition is free). As I listed above, the OCZ Low Voltage 2x2GB 1066 are the best value right now: http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-PC2-8500-Platinum-Voltage-OCZ2P1066LV4GK/dp/B002845LDC/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1 I don't know of anyone that has gotten less than 1150+ 5-5-5-18 1.9v unless...

Get these instead: http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-PC2-8500-Platinum-Voltage-OCZ2P1066LV4GK/dp/B002845LDC/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1 Cheaper and MUCH better. Will run cas4 in your system.

Your Intel processor will give better performance with faster RAM. 1:1 is not optimal at all with Intel mobos. These are a great value right now and will run 1150+ 5-5-5-18: http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-PC2-8500-Platinum-Voltage-OCZ2P1066LV4GK/dp/B002845LDC/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1

With AMD, you are likely to get better performance with slower speed and tighter timings. Test at 1066 and then again at 800 4-4-4.

I would try it both ways. But AMD usually likes tighter timings.

$1000 worth of RAM, now worth $10

These are MUCH better and cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-PC2-8500-Platinum-Voltage-OCZ2P1066LV4GK/dp/B002845LDC/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1

dude, what's your system? you maybe better off 5-5-5-15 1066

Yeah, but not too much more. Adding DDR is throwing money away on band-aids.
