Hi. I'm just going to get right to it: I'm not satisfied with the RAM speed the P5Q-E is giving me, and want to make it faster. here are the relevant specs:
Silverstone Strider 700W PSU
ASUS P5Q-E
Intel C2Q Q9550 @ 2.83 Ghz (Ultra Copper X-Wind for CPU Cooler)
G. Skill 4 GB (2 x 2) 1100 Mhz DDR2 RAM w/heatsink
CPU-Z tells me that the RAM is running at 400 Mhz. I'd like it to at least run at 800 Mhz. I'd prefer not to turn up the voltage, and I don't really feel the need to overclock my CPU at this point in time. honestly, though, the BIOS are just a bit over my abilities. my previous AMD system was easy and direct in comparison- just key in the frequency desired.
but yeah, so, can anyone help me out??
