FSB Speeds?

Hey all, got a new machine up and running and the stock FSB speed on the thing is 800mhz with an option to slow it down to 600 something or to speed it up to 1066. I'm running a Core 2 Duo e6600 on an Asus P5n32-SLI Delux board.

My question: do I need to adjust anything else if I up the FSB to 1066? Or should it just be able to handle that? I'm not an Overclocker, I like things to run well at stock speeds, and as long as I don't have to tweak voltages I'm happy. So if my machine can take the boost up without me having to tweak I'd like to take it.

Thoughts?

I think that board can do 1066 no problem, ram would be the thing that wouldnt let it, what are the voltages, multiplier, speed of your PROCCY (overclocked?). I think the stock for the 6600 IS 800. Im not wizz at these new chips though, I am still fiddling with mine.

btw, I have the same ram, love it :).

No overclocking for me. The procrocessor is stock everything right now. Never Oc'ed before and I would rather not get into it now. But being able to boost the FSB up to 1066 would be great. The system would just become unstable/ unable to boot if it didn't work right?
