1. Your motherboard probably has a setting enabled to allow the processor to clock back when it's not being used. It's a common feature in laptops (Right now my 2GHz processor is running at 1GHz to save power). You can disable that through the BIOS (which is also where you want to OC from).
2. Did you look up the specs of your motherboard before you purchased the RAM? If it can only support 800MHz, then that's all it'll support. Also, when you OC, it is best to go in 5MHz increments, stress testing inbetween to determine stability. You can't just up the speed by 133MHz and expect it to work. Remember that when you increase the FSB speed, it effects everything, RAM, CPU, Northbridge, everything.
