General Tech Question w/bios

[HuntressSWG]

<p>  I was curious Im using a EVGA 680i Mobo w/ an E8600 w/ a 1333 FSB.  My memory is DDR2 1066.  In my bios post though it says my CPU is at 1333 but my memory is at 800 roughly.  Since my memory is DDR2 1066 shouldnt it be at 1066 instead of the 800 figure?</p>

<p>When you say it's at 800, do you mean 800Mhz?  RAM doesn't work exactly like a processor and the speed ratings are calculated differently.  You might want to read through the following wiki page for some additional information:</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM</a></p>
