By the way I see you live in Salem, OR. I used to live out by commercial st a few years back, originally from Corvallis. Good to see someone from around the area

I am on Capitol St. 8 blocks down from the Capitol in an old 1920 craftsman we are fixing up.

Now to the ram, the beauty of the 680i is the unlinked ram settings, they are not as limited by dividers as on the intel chipsets, I ran some Buffalo firestix 2x1GB D9GKX @ 1200mhz no problem, so you should have zero problems with 1066.

What we really need is a bios that deal's with the cpu Quad based FSB holes, that would really help out CPU clocking as the x9 multi @ 400 (1600) is dead. I prefer @ 3.6 clock as I crunch, and it requires low volts and produces much less heat, and @ 400 the strap chang @ about 422 does not come into affect and the ram is much faster. At least according to ram benchmarks done.
