More Information

I downloaded CPU-Z and went to "SPD" at the top and for my memory it says:

 

Max Bandwidth: PC2 6400 (400mhz)

 

But my memory is Dominator 8500 1066 MHZ.

  

Then i went to "Memory" at the top to see what speed it is running at and its 379 MHZ.

I think I mis-understood what imrul was saying. He has the right numbers to take you up to 1066

apparently your Mobo/BIOS does not automaticaly recognize, and thus set your memory at it's rated specs. Manualy set the frequency and voltage according to the memory specifications (i'm guessing 2.1V). You might be limited by your mobo though.
