Hello, were you able to check the memory settings ? Note they have a capacity of going 1333
The Gigabyte site states that this mobo can run at fsb 1600 ?

Re: losing my relegion or are 10 drives too much?

You're confusing FSB speed with RAM speed. Totally different thing. FSB 1600 = 400MHz as set in BIOS, as Intel chips run on a quad-pumped bus (they can send 4 bits of data on a single clock cycle). That base clock of 400MHz is sent to the RAM via the RAM multiplier, which is not necessarily 4 (usually lower than that as DDR2 doesn't go that high). The Q6600 runs on a 333MHz base clock, so that's FSB 1066 at default speed.

Also that RAM will never ever run 1333 no matter what you do to it.

Anyway, GET THAT RAM REPLACED. I had a lot of issues with the very same RAM, i sent 'em back and the replacements are fine.

Also, onboard raid sucks. FFS, if you need all that storage to be SAFE, get a dedicated RAID card. And don't ever mention Dell on a forum about real computers.
