Thanks Nik_I uh but when I try to run 8gbs at 1066 when it gets to the vista loading screen it goes to this blue screen and it says something about memory dump
 
You need to set the proper voltage or the RAM won't be stable at 1066. The shipping package it came in should give you the recommended voltage and timings. Go into your BIOS and set them manually.

I'm looking forward to the day when I can buy all 16GB that my motherboard supports ^_^

I have a faint recollection of the need to install vista 64 with only 2 gig of ram and then installing the rest after the os has been properly installed.
Check the win vista knowledge base.
