Do I have this set up right?

Does this look like I have everything set up right?
Is this the right memory freq/speed for my FSB and memory?

Yep everything looks good, plan on overclocking?

If you do try putting the fsb at 400 and putting the memory at 1:1. Then fiddle from there

I thought maybe I'd get all my apps working, and then consider o/c.
thanks

I thought that PC2-6400 was supposed to run at 800mhz, and I see 400 above. Is that correct?

DDR2 you double the mhz. You are fine.

cool, thanks.

DDR3 works the same way. One instruction of the falling and rising edge of the clock. It is just able to hit higher frequencies than DDR2. Where DDR2 knocks out around DDR-1066 (533x2) DDR3 will probably be able to go upto DRR3-2133 or more (1066x2).
