When I boot up, BIOS says my memory is running at 1066mhz and I want it to be running at 1600mhz. The kit I bought was OCZ and is rated for that speed. What do I need to change so that I only change what my memory is running at and nothing else? Here is a screenshot from CPU-Z.... it doesn't say 1066mhz though...where is that at? My motherboard is an Asus P6T deluxe v.2. Thanks :).

On CPUz, look under SPD and look at the table for RAM speed and voltage. See what voltage is needed for 1600 and then check the BIOS to see what voltage you're supplying to it.

If the voltage is right, it's something else and likely beyond my scope!

I don't know how to change the frequency or the EMP profile... I checked the SPD tab and it looks like this...

Anyways you're going to want to set your memory multiplier to 12x (12 x 133 stock BCLK gives you ~1600). Right now it's set on 8x (8 x 133 ~ 1066). You need to go into the BIOS and make the changes ASAP.....
