Hi peeps,

I'm new to this so here goes.

I'm currently the proud owner of:
Gigabyte P35-DS3L rev 2.0
E8200
2 * 1 GB of Kingston HyperX memory 800 Mhz DDR2 (KHX6400D2LLK2/2GN)

now everything works fine, but my BIOS shows my memory works at 667 Mhz.
Can someone explain or help me to get this memory to work on 800 Mhz.
 
It's best not to believe your bios. What fsb are you running at on your E8200? I don't know about your specific bios settings, but I know that some motherboards display your memory speed in relation to a 266 strap. So, if you are running 400*8 on your processor, your bios might indicate you are running 533MHz for your ram, but really you are running 800MHz. I'm sure someone with your specific motherboard can give you details though. You might want to add some more details to your post though...
