Here is what I have:

ASUS p5KC MB
e6750 CPU
Crucial Ballistix 2 GB DDR2 800 Ram

In CPU-Z, I am getting:
BUS Speed: 266.7
Rated FSB: 1066.8

I would have thought I would have gotten 333 and 1333 respectively.

I have gone into the BIOS and changed the following settings:
FSB Frequency: 333
DRAM Frequency: 800 MHZ
CAS# Latency: 4
RAS# to CAS# Delay: 4
RAS# Precharge: 4
RAS# Activate to Precharge: 12
DRAM Voltage: 2.2

I still have Speedstep enable, but I thought that only affects the clock and since I am not currently overclocking, I am fine with it on.

Am I missing something? Thanks.

The problem was that I was getting a FSB of 1066 instead of 1333.

Per a response on the ASUS support forums, I cleared my CMOS. Apparently after updating the BIOS, it was locked at 266 no matter what I set the BIOS to. Clearing the CMOS fixed that. Now everything looks good.

Thanks.
