ABOUT THE RAM....goto the AI tweaker menu>(switch ai oc tuner to manual) FSB and Memory Config>(first turn FSB- MEmory Clock mode to manual) FSB memory Ratio: now i don't know what the ratio is going to be for yours but i think it may be 5:4 to achieve 1066 RAM speed, like i think it tells you in that menu what the projected speed will be...NOW you have to set the voltage too:
Now go back to the main AI tweaker menu and go to over-voltage>then change memory voltage to 2.2volts. I looked at the manual and this is what i'd do...and again i dont know the exact ratio to achieve the 1066 speed.

And yea there is no SPD for 1066 (which pisses me off cause i have the same type of RAM) mostly for compatibility.

in the nvidia control panel set to performance ?

3dmark06 will be low with your cpu@2.4ghz thats just going to happen no matter what vga cards you run its cpu bottlenecked

erocker · Jun 22, 2009

You need to run 3dMark at 1280x1024. And cdawall tells it like it is.

Binge · Jun 22, 2009

Are you running SLI off of a fresh install? Did you reinstall 3DMark 06 after changing video cards? Are you sure you have everything in the correct PCI-E slot?

You will just need to set it manually in the BIOS to DDR2 1066

you might confuse him with 1066 MHZ!!!!!, PLZ set RAM to 533 and it will be running as it should :toast:

Asus boards you set to 1066.

Windows 7 might be an issue here as well, because it is still BETA, in case everyone has forgotten...
But yes, his gcards are probably being bottlenecked by his CPU, so OVERCLOCK that CPU man!
