i need help with this when i check cpu-z it says that my dram frequency says its only 401.8, how do i change the timings for my ram so i can get it to run to 533 or 1066mhz
 
The short and dirty of it is to go into your BIOS when you boot the PC up and do it yourself. Change the multiplier (or in your case probably the ratio) and if needed the front side bus to get it to just the right frequency you need. Tho, if you increase the FSB too much you'll be OCing the CPU and might need to up the voltages a bit.
