hi
i just finished set up a new comp for my father
here're my hardwares:

-AMD Phenom II X2 545 Callisto 3.0GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache

-giga ma 785g-ud3h

-G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model
F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK

-western digitalcaviar blue 320g 7200rpm

-cooler master 500w

-artic cooling freezer 64 pro 92mm

my question is why the memorys in bios show only 800mhz instead of 1066 mhz ?

this 's the first time i build an AMD system and it's also my second built after mine 2-3 weeks ago
thanks for your time

hi
you need to go in to the bios and set your ram to 533 from 400 that its set at now..

and bump the ram voltage from 1.8 to 2.0 or 2.1 per the specs on the ram heat sink..set your ram timing to 5.5.5.15.
. F10 save and exit..then youll see ram at 1066 during your restart

hi
did you up the volts on your ram to 2.1? they should be stable @1066 and pass prime.

i would look to get the ram stable at 1066 then you can overclock that Phenom II X2 545 a bit

have a look here http://gskill.us/forum/ and see if they can help with the timings..i have that same ram and it runs rock solid at 1066
