Heya. I have Corsair dominator PC6400. It's 2.1v.
When I set the timings to 4-4-4-12 and the speed to 800mhz the PC wouldnt boot. I was pooing it a little.. Reset the bios and then realised that I also had to set the voltage. Timings like that can not be achieved with 1.8v.
So, make sure you set that too. As that may be why you are reverting back to 800.

Hrmmmm *scratches chin*. If that is not a typo then please, don't tell me you bought a triple channel kit (three sticks?).
If you did then you'll never get it to time correctly or run in dual channel mode and that will drag your speeds down.
Now hopefully you own 4gb on twin 2gb sticks. If you own three then you made a booboo.
Edit. Wait.. They don't make triple channel DDR2 kits. So that must be a typo.
Edit again. Also, your board IIRC is similar to mine. It has yellow and black slots. However, you can't just put it in random slots. The board is dual channel so you MUST put the two sticks in the correct slots or it will not operate in dual channel mode, dragging your speeds down.
