Hi guys, I need some help on the memory settings in the bios such as timings , voltages etc etc....

The ram I got came with a bundle from ebay, it has got samsung chips on it though.

I have 6GB (3x2gb) DDR2 800 but it is showing up as 533 because of my Q6600.

What settings should i use and also should i take a stick of ram out as I am using vista 32 bit?

Thanks

Download and run CPUZ. Click the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) tab and you will see all the settings your memory is rated for.

I would take out the 3rd stick since Vista can't address the extra memory.
