    Cant update my BIOS

    Intel D865PERL motherboard. I tried updating the BIOS for the first time and the new copy is around a year newer then my current BIOS. Now when it rebooted it made three beeps with a little space and the beeps got louder it did this twice I think, when it booted up it was asking for a boot...

    P4 3Ghz - 6800GT, low fps!

    I would rather not overclock and for the RAM it depends how big the gap between better ram is.. and if its really will boost my performance so I can run D3/Hl2 Very well fps wise. I wouldnt know the changes in all the ram you can get I just know a few makes thats all.

    No problem, I've never overclocked anything I know you can get programs to do graphic cards but I'm not to sure on CPU's any starter points or sites if I pick that path. I could google but that'll bring a shed load of stuff. :P

    P4 3Ghz - 6800GT, low fps!

    I've tried the ones that came with the card and the lastest from nvidia plus the newest beta drivers, all give the same readings really but they give a big boost in 3dmark but I care more about my FPS. I know my basic PC is pretty good but I wasnt to sure if its the (small) things that can be...

    P4 3Ghz - 6800GT, low fps!

    Where do I find that tab? cant see it in the driver tabs. When I look at these kinda of benchmarks I think 53fps is low when a 9800pro is getting 77fps and my card costs twice as much and is brand new. http://www.anandtech.com/video...c.html?i=1821&p=22 And the PC that is tested is...
