OK guys I just downloaded MemSet 3.6 just to play around with. Before i DL memset, I have OC'd My memory from 1066 to 1111mhz.(6 hour blend test Prim95 stable :D) Ever since Ive had the ram in this system, CPU-Z under SPD tells me im basicly running DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) But the mhz @ stock is 533?!:banghead: And when i bought them @ newegg the specs on the ram says its DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500). But now that I have memset installed and I was looking under the SPD tab, it tells me that i have ddr2 800 OC'd to 925.9mhz (73.3% OC) WTF Im really confused here:wtf:. So Ill post you a screenie of what I have, and you tell me wtf is going on...



OK heres a link to what i have Here But Im really thinking about getting some of these

Please give feedback asap on the Black Dragons, I want to know if its a good OCer and worth my time. Thanks guys :toast:

But Mine are supposed to be 1066 NOT 800.. at least thats what im starting to think... And if they are ddr2 800 and im running them @ 1111mhz.. well thats a pretty good OC for G.Skills im assuming. Ive heard that they are good @ tighter timings and not at a higher frequency. But mine are stable.. very stable at that speed.

If you look closely @ the pic i posted, it also says "PC2-6400 (400 MHz)": same as yours except mine are 1000 and not 1066.
