My current build is Gigabyte MB MA770-UD3
AMD Phenom II X4 940 BE 3.0 GHZ
4x2gbs Kingston 1066mhz
AMd Radeon HD6870 1Gb GDDR5

I also have the problem that when i boot the computer it reads the memory at 800mhz. I know my CPU supports 1066 but does my mother?
My bios version is F8 I tried updating it to higher but Q-flash doesn't work nor @bios. Any ideas on how I can have my motherboard run the memory at 1066mhz instead of 800?

@bios software gives me an error! it reads like this.. " Bios partnumber(AWARD)is not correct" then it cancel the process.
Q-Flash utility V. 2.13 gives me another error when I choose the bios file from the floppy disk it says, " Bios ID check error" then nothing happens after that.

[Solved] I solved the problem me self, They are three type of chip revisions on my motherboard so I figured which one was mine. Then I was able to update the bios to the latest and now I can use my brand new Phenom II X6 1100T with the kingston 1066 mhz ram. Thanks for the help either way.
