You will very likely have to drop the bandwidth to 800Mhz and overclock the CPU FSB <--> MCH <--> DRAM stream to achieve stability if you want ~1066Mhz speeds with four DRAM banks populated. I would personally advise a move to 2 X 2048MB of 800Mhz DRAM. Then you can run at the full speed of the DRAM. I have taken 4GB of 8500C5's to 1066MHz with an overclock but have found that otherwise, issues can often occur. Sometimes they are longer term meaning that you find the system runs the 1066 fine but later on there are motherboard and/or DRAM issues of instability. Sometimes the issues are physical and then the only outcome is RMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 30, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 30, 2007 And I agree with DerekT I would suspect with that MB you might even have to run them at DDR667 with 4 modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
