FWiW, I just rechecked the Gigabyte QVL listing, and the Corsair RAM I have installed is on the list. I guess I'll try contacting Corsair and pick their brain and/or possibly RMA the memory back to Newegg. The RAM seems to function OK, but it makes no sense why CPU-Z, LookInMyPC, and Belarc won't report the specifications correctly. I have a test CD or floppy around here somewhere so I may run it.

i dont know if they will let you rma it if it works properly, but good luck trying.

The latest version of CPU-Z, recently released, correctly reports all RAM parameters and then some. Obviously I won't have to RMA the memory now, and a recheck of the Gigabyte website now lists the Corsair PC 8500 RAM. I had emailed Gigabyte before I bought the RAM to see if it was supported and received an email confirmation. It looks like they added the item to the Supported Memory list afterwards.

Thats good news. Marked as Resolved.

I found this old Thread of mine marked 'Resolved', and want to add the conclusion for the story in case anyone can use it in the future, or might give a flip!!.

When I upgraded the BIOS from F5 to F11 to include support for all of the CPU's under consideration, the various reporting problems I was having with the DDR2 1066 RAM disappeared.
