Overclocking Kingston Hyper X ddr2 RAM

I bought some of this RAM http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Hyp...pr_product_top

Apparently it comes at a standard 800mhz and the latency is 5-5-5-15
Anyways I have an asus p5klm am motherboard and I went into the bios, put the RAM speed to 1000mhz (1066mhz wasn't there so I guessed 1000mhz meant 1066mhz) and I put the voltages to 2.27 (supposed to be 2.2 but that wasn't there). Anyways I noticed some webpages werent loading too fast and some applications were taking the same amount of time to load as when I had my 2gb 800mhz RAM. So I went onto CPU-Z and checked my memory
and it says 'max bandwidth PC2-6400 (400mhz) DRAM frequency 500mhz
FSBRAM 2:3 (my cpu fsb is 1333mhz) CAS# LATENCY (CL) 5.0 clocks
RAS TO CAS DELAY 5 clocks RAS precharge 5 clocks Cycle time (tRAS) 15 clocks (TRFC) 52 clocks'

And in the SPD page it says the voltage is only 1.8v and the frequencies are : Jedec#1 200 Jedec#2 266 Jedec#3 400 and cas latencies are: Jedec#1 3.0 Jedec#2 4.0 Jedec#3 5.0

Does this mean I have not overclocked properly? If so how do I do it right? And what do I do? If this is not clear enough I will put screenshots up but it doesn't seem to be right to me (although I have not OCd ram before)
 
You did it right, if it says 500mhz in cpuz, when the stock is 400, yah...


Altho just letting you know from past experience, and reading, changing the ram timings/mhz speed will hardly help at all...
 
Cant really find anything on the board. It could be that it doesnt support 1066, only up to 400/800. The reason why it just has a 500/1000 divider and not 533/1066.
