RAM

I overclocked in BIOS my RAM to 1066, but in CPU-Z it shows my frequency at ~400. What is going on here?

He said BIOS.

The other thing is what frequency is at 400? Could be your CPU FSB frequency, which is seperate to your RAM...

Could be just CPU-Z, cuz my 6GB RAM is clocked at 533Mhz DDR2, but CPU-Z displays 400 Mhz for one, 333MHz for all others.
