Thanxx

Ratio is 1:1, with ram timings 5-5-5-15, one other thing im trying to overclock My C2D E6550 to 3.0Ghz, so i increased the FSP to 428mhz with a multiplier of 7x (Max), my ram fsp boosted to 858mhz in the bios wich is funny cause it only reads 667mhz, and with all these changes my pc is stable and running smothly for 3 days on a row, but still i not concerned abuot the ram...

Then the slot you put in the 667 MHz got a mix with the 800 MHz somehow? Try pulling out the stick and put it in another slot. Or try putting it in parallel slots. EX: slot 1 and 3, slot 2 and 4...
