Hey, I have an ECS GF7050VT-M running two 1gb Corsair DDR2-800 sticks.

First problem:
1. It's being listed as 667mhz instead of 800
2. It's running in single channel, when clearly it should be dual.

I have a e7200 running at a fsb of 1066, so I tried to manually set the fsb:mem ratio to 5:4, but that still didn't fix the problem.

Any suggestions?

DDR of 667 = 333 MHz real. The bus speed on the CPU is 333 MHz real. You actually want a 1:1 ratio for optimal performance. No, I'm not suggesting that you overclock, I'm saying that 667 is fine.

Put the memory in alternating slots (like 0 and 2) for dual channel. Don't have both sticks in slots 0 and 1 - that's just a single channel.
