Ah didn't realize you were asking for the complete specs:
Cpu: E2140
Motherboard: ECS P4M900T-M
Ram: Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500
Video Card: XFX 6800xt (I don't game at all so that should be good enough for my needs)
I bought the cpu/ motherboard combo from fry's today until I can afford a quad, but I'd really like to get to the bottom of the ram deal since I got it off ebay and if it's not ddr2 1066 I need to contact the seller for a refund.
Thanks

I'm not allowed to post links from ebay here am I?
It came in sealed anti-static bags which claimed to be ddr2 1066, but I'm just a bit worried now with cpuz reporting it as being something else.
The auction only has a picture of the box, so I'm pretty sure that wouldn't help much

The Seller might have possibly swapped out stickers on you.
A common thing that happens on ebay, my brother recently bought a pair of DDR400 OCZ sticks (claimed) that came up as 333 in CPU-Z.
If possible, set up a RMA with Crucial. The Ballistix have a lifetime warranty and you can tell them your sticks are registering wrong and they should send you a new pair.
Could be wrong on this though.
Do you have a picture of the sticks themselves?

No, they probably won't replace them as either the sticker has been removed or the heatspreader has been removed, this voids the warranty no questions asked. It would be best to take it up with the seller if these are indeed modified sticks, no reason to rip-off the manufacturer and let the ebay scammer go unpunished...g14novak said:

I'm not sure how he could have swapped them though since they came sealed in antistatic bags and the timing, model, serial number, etc are printed on the bags.
I see some other guy on ncix having the same issues:
