I just got done installing my brand new out of box never opened DG45ID motherboard and q9650 cpu. This is the DDR2 Ram I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231166
On the motherboard box it says it supports 800/667 ram
When I open cpu-z it says that my ram is only running at 400MHz. I thought that since my ram's native clock is 1066MHz that it would just downclock to 800MHz. Do I need to go to the BIOS to clock the ram to 800MHz? Would it not be advisable to go higher than 800MHz? I don't really care too much about going higher than 800MHz cause hell, it's twice as fast as what it's currently running at. I just want to know what I need to do.
Here is a link to my mobo's specs: http://reviews.cnet.com/motherboards/intel-desktop-board-dg45id/4507-3049_7-33155989.html
