Dell XPS 730 Memory settings via Bios and overclocking -Need Help!

I recently purchased a memory upgrade for my Dell XPS 730. The memory modules are from Corsair,Manf. part# TW3X4G1600C9DHX G or Dell Part # A1640633, and I have 4 of them to give me 8 gigs of memory. I am using Vista 32 bit and I know the 4 gig limitation but I bought them because I'm going up to Windows 7 64-bit soon and also for future proofing if I plan on upgrading my motherboard in the near future. Currently, the actual memory speed is only 1066.7. The chips can go up to 1600. I am buying a fan for the memory modules and I need help in setting up the bios (ver 1.06) so I get can the best bang for my buck on these sticks. I have a Core 2 Extreme CPU X9650 and I do not want to overclock it, just the memory. Below are my specs:
