LGA775 socket for latest Intel® Core™ 2 Duo / Pentium® Dual Core/ Pentium® D / Pentium® 4 / Celeron 4xx series/ Celeron® D processor FSB 1066/800/533 MHz

The above information was taken from their website.

400 watt

That's a pretty big jumb from 667 to 800MHz. (Motherboard does not support 800MHz).
Manual says:
This motherboard accommodates two memory modules. It can support two 240-pin
DDR2 667/533/400. The total memory capacity is 2 GB.

Yet, ECS web site says it supports up to 4 GB.

BIOS for 945GCT-M/1333 (PCB:3.x) version 08/07/18 does not include information pertaining to increased memory speed up to 800MHz. (Bios link).

Hi proenza. you're making good sence! You're D945GCL MB should be able to run 1066 FSB. Not 100% sure you're memory will keep FSB up to 1066.
Here's the trouble though. The Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 will not run on the Intel D945GCL motherboard because it is not supported. Look here at Intel's web site. Supported CPU's.

This CPU is supported by the D945GCL MB.

In order to get 1066MHz (CPU can run at), you'll also need the memory support at 800MHz. The D945GCL MB can only run DDR2-667MHz.
Many people buy a CPU to run MB's specs (1333MHz) just to find the same MB does not support DDR2-1066MHz or DDR2-800MHz. Motherboard Mfg's are lagging. DDR3-1333MHz is out there now to support the 1333 MHz CPU FSB.

I hope this has helped you make a decision proenza.

Good Luck!

The manufacturers specs include a parallel port as lpt1, the motherboard ports are below, light purrple is lpt1

ya u right buddy

RIArchangel, you're board is not able to run 1333fsb; it can only run at 1066fsb. Though setting the bios to auto should not cause the system to lock up, unless you are over-clocking other settings in the system bios.
Changing you're memory to the faster dual channel 667 will increase the systems over all performance but it will not change the fact that the board can only run at 1066fsb.
If you have the time, take a read over this link. 1333fsb over 1066fsb. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/230788-30-1333-1066

David i take it you mean you played with the bios screen ?

if so you can remove the power cord then open the side of the computer and remove the bios battery (big silver watch type battery on the mother board) leave it for around 15 mins replace the battery then the power cord you will find an error screen when you switch on.

its normally f1 to load default settings and continue the boot
that should solve it

can you give more details of your problem?

The ECS website.

take the battery out for 30 seconds, then put it back in.

HTML Background Code This article provides HTML background code - code for setting the background properties of an HTML element.
The following examples use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). CSS is the best way of setting the background properties in your HTML. It's more flexible than the (outdated) HTML method (more on that below). Using CSS, you can set the background properties of any HTML element. Plus you can do things like, specify an image's position, whether it should repeat, how it should repeat etc.
Background Color You can set the background color of any HTML element using the background-color property. You can choose a background color with the HTML color chart.
HTML Color Codes Use this page to get HTML color codes for your website. The colors are represented by their hexadecimal values (the most common method for the web). On the color picker, you can also see the RGB values (you can use these for the web too).
Example of HTML color code usage:
