I know you don't like sharing secrets , but I thought ya'll could direct me somewhere to learn how to OC, I don't even get much of the lingo , but I can Try to keep up

By the way, I built this system as a showpiece to make my brother jealous!!!

$3000.oo

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo 1GHz FSB
2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939
OCZ Enhanced Latency 1GB (2 x 512MB ) 2 gig total
Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel 4sticks ( Timing 2-3-2-6)
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939
NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI NX6600GT-TD128E Geforce 6600GT
128MB GDDR3 PCI-E x16 Video Card ( X2)
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L300S0 300GB
7200 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA150 HDD
Windows XP Pro 64 O.S.
Water Cooled By ZALMAN
X2 Sony DVD Burners, and
X2 Removeable HDD bays ( to occupy the IDE cables )
X1 Sony floppy drive
X1 21 card reader for flash memory
+ all the goodies and lights I could think of !!!
and a silly clear case ( 'cause I could )

But of course I got nailed on a Antec 500w SmartPower supply
+ lijnksys router & cable modem & printserver + a $100 prnter

And I shold mension the thing I stare at 17" viewsonic lcd $257 after taxes


I wanted it NEW and good to last, maybe price more like $2500, with calculator

THNKS FOR YOUR HELP , FAR CRY HASN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME !

O.K., quick and dirty for a couple hundred mhz:

Set your RAM speed (I think it's called on an ASUS, "max ram speed" or something like that) to 166 (DDR 333), then bump up your FSB speed from 200 to about 210 or 215 or so. You should be able to get this OC without messing with voltage at all. Boot up the computer and run two instances of prime95- set one to run on each core. If it runs without error for more than 10minutes or so (which it will most likely), reboot, enter the bios, and turn up fsb about 5 or 10 more mhz. If it starts failing prime95, set your vcore to about 1.4x - 1.5, and you'll be good to go for a while.

Download "CPU-Z" and use that to show and confirm your cpu speed and ram speed.

This will get you going really basic- but to get the max out of your system, you should read the "sticky" on the top of this forum about overclocking- it's a good guide. Just experiment- you'll find that your 4400 will overclock pretty nicely.

I hope you didn't pay 3000.00 for that computer! There are AMD64 overclocking posts with all the gory details. Just do a search.

2x6600GT's? and 1GB ram for 3k?

umm, im not sure where all the money went there....

With 4 sticks of RAM you most likely wont have much luck with overclocking the RAM. This can limit your OC efforts.

At any rate, I'd rather go with 2x1gb sticks instead of 4x512mb. Sometimes you'll be forced to use 2T instead of 1T because of that...

Go to the 11X multiplier, set your Ram divider to 5/6, set HTT to 240 and watch the fireworks.
