Will I have to do anything for this board to accept and run at 1066 or will it automatically do it with 1066 ram...?
if so what do i need to do....im new so anyhelp is appreciated thanks

Asus P5K Premium/WiFi-AP

4 x DIMM, max. 8GB, DDR2 1066*/800 / 667 MHz, non-ECC, un-buffered memory
Dual channel memory architecture
"* The chipset officially supports the memory frequency up to DDR2 800MHz. Tuned by ASUS Super Memspeed Technology, this motherboard natively supports up to DDR2 1066MHz


 
Sometimes you have to manualy set the speed and voltage. Just set everything to the specs of the ram unless you are going to overclock.
 
ok so it should be fairly easy to do...
just set it to the ram specs of 1066

and how do i go about doing that?
thanks again
 
Get into the bios(hit the delete key repeatedly untill you enter), then go to Advanced, then jumperfree config. Set dram timing control to manual. Set your cas to 4 or 5 or what ever... 5-5-5-15 in that order, what ever your ram is rated at. Then towards the bottom change the dram voltage to what ever the ram is rated at, done!
 
oh I forgot about the divider...if your not over clocking it will prob. set you at 1:2 ratio @1066mhz. To make sure, just go to divider and set it to your rams rated speed.
