Asus A7N8X Dlx poor performance...

[Broken]

<FONT size=1>Just a quick question.

Why is my performance sucking.

I Have:
Asus A7N8X Dlx w/1002 final (newest on site)
256 Corsair XMS 3200 low latency DDR
XP 2400+
Had Gainward TI 4200 Golden Sample w/ Det 41.09

At stock settings, my friends Gigabyte 7VXRP KT 333 with 256 PC2700 XP 2100+ with same vid card running it at 2x and slower settings becasue of the capacitor issue on the earlier rev and he is BEETING ME IN 3DMARK 2001 SE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Except when I overclock processor at 200x11.5(2300 Mhz)or 171x14(2394 Mhz)
and Vid to 300x600(TI 4200)

How is this possible???? I shouldn't have to O'clock to beat him!!!!!!!!


Please someone tell me what I am doing wrong.....

Make sure your memory is running in sync with your CPU's FSB, to start with. It will perform better at PC2100 speeds in sync with your CPU than at PC3200 speeds out-of-sync with your CPU. That should be a good start, anyway

Yeah, already did that and noticed an improvement..... but, could it be a 3dmark flaw????
