Instead running 800mhz, it run to 667mhz

Question

Alright, Hello there! I have a dell studio 1735, I changed my first boot disk, to  an ocz Agility 3 and put windows 7 64 bits on it. I changed the two slots of memories to an no name (compatible dell products) 4gb X 2 running at 800mhz eaches. Put the first time I started my computer, it said it have to format the new memories before it would start windows, I accept, then these problems appears 1- The memory was formated to 667mhz (the totality of gb still there: 8128mb of memory) 2-Many lags came (from video (streaming and on disk) and from a repeat task over a hard disk (I got two disks the other be an hybrid hdd/ssd) giving an error and closing the explorator of windows) So I want to have help to know if possible to reformat the memory sticks to/or put them to their native configuration of 800mhz Else I want to know if not possible, how to post a ticket to Dell for updating they're Bios utility via the use of us memories on our dell machine. Thx to Dell if you could understand the wants of eaches to upgrade 'hard' :) our laptops. And the other thx will go of the someone who could help me find a solution (else then downgrade) to my issues...

We do not create a new Bios update to addess issues found with non-Dell memory. Dell only validates the following OEM (original equipment manufacturer) 8GB DDR2 memory sticks on this models two memory slots:

WP466 512MB,667MHz,64X64,8K,200
Y9525 512MB,667MHz,64X64,8K,200
GY767 512MB,800MHz,64X64,8K,200
TX756 512MB,800MHz,64X64,8K,200

Y9530 1GB,667MHz,128X64,8K,200
Y9535 1GB,667MHz,128X64,8K,200
PP102 1GB,800,128X64,8K,200

The memory speed depends partly on the CPU you have installed - what processor do you have?

The memory is running correctly - with a Core 2, to run 800 MHz RAM, your CPU must run at 1066 MHz (which your system cannot do).
