I've read the manual and I can't seem to understand where I am supposed to insure that the board is recognizing that my memory is rated at 5-5-5-15 and 2.2v.

Must I set these values manually or is this going to be detected automatically?

Also, what does 5-5-5-15 actaully represent (besides the generic label latency)?

FYI: My memmory is 1066MHz Kingston Dual channel (2 sets of 2Gb, 4 sticks 1gb each).

Download CPUID and look at the SPD page. That will tell you what the timings are for the various clock speeds.

I believe you press CTRL and F1 at the same time on the main BIOS page and then go into the MIT page and you can set the timings to match. It should be the first 4 settings but verify that. The mobo usually sets the timings a little looser than the SPD to ensure that it won't crash.
