Official GIGABYTE X38-DQ6/X38T-DQ6 Info/BIOS Thread

And to add another quick post. As mentioned, I've put in four 1024MB strips of (what I thought were) DDR2 1066 Apogee RAM, but as this pic shows, my AU$365 GA-X38-DQ6 is only reading it as PC6400. Should I be going back to the store where I bought the RAM, or is there something wrong with how the board reports the RAM in it to the OS?

lol that is not a motherboard problem

that's what it's written into the SPD it's all fine man

Yeh but what does it mean? That the board is only running it at 800MHz, or that the RAM is only PC6400?

Mine reads like this:

It's not a mobo fault but how the data is written to the RAM, SPD data etc.
