Hey Guys
I ordered me some Kingston 1gb(4 of them = total 4gb memory) DDR2 1066mhz memory for my ASUS M3A78 board. I just found out that the board will push the Mhz down to 800mhz for stability reasons. I need to know what to do in BIOS to get the memory back to 1066mhz. My board is set on"auto" for memory detection settings, but of course I don't know if that will work.
I know I need to set the numbers on the chip (example 4-4-4-12), in BIOS, but I don't know what to look for in BIOS. I know each of those corresponds to TRCD, TRP, TRAS, CAS I believe, but which is which?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
of course if someone has the same board and gone through the same thing, please let me know 
Yup, got me CPU-Z ready when the memory arrives 
but just in-case the 1066 is set to 800, i'd like to be able to change it 
Please mind
