Mushkin 2x1GB 8500 DDR2

I have recently put together a new rig.....

Q6600 G0/ Windows Vista Ultimate
Thermalright Ultra 120X/Sycthe 120mm
Evga 680i A1 P30 Bios
Evga 8800 Ultra
2x1GB Mushkin 8500(1066)
Western Digital 750Gb sata
X-Fi Fatality gamer
Pioneer 212 dvd-rw
Samsung dvd-rw
Corsair 620HX psu
Antec P182
Logitech mx 5000
Logitech Z-5500
Samsung 242mp

According to Vista, it rates everything @ 5.9 except the ram which it rates it @ 5.1

Is this right? I am wondering if I change the timings, if it will increase the rating?

Lower timing and higher speed will get your score up if your worried about it.

you'll have to leave the timing at stock or mite even have to losen it to get 1200mhz. Your memory is only rated at 1066mhz.

From what I am seeing, I would not base your satisfaction on the Windows memory rating. Users are reporting some wierd and inconsistent results.
