Need help to configure new P55 board

Folks,

I put together a new system with a i7-860 and a Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2. Also got 8GB of DD3-1333.

I've been out of the loop for while so I no longer know how to configure the system. Currently running with all default settings (auto) in the BIOS. When I made my last system 3/4 years ago we used to configure RAM to run 1:1 with the processor's FSB. It seems things are a bit more complicated now.

I do not want to overclock the system. I bought DDR-1333 cause that was the cheapest DDR3 I could find.

What is the FSB of this processor? At what speed should I run the RAM? This board seems to be running the RAM at 1066 MHz as opposed to 1333. Would I benefit from running it at 1333?

Also, I am wondering if anyone has run into a guide into how to configure BIOS settings for this board.

Thanks
