I haven't upgraded my computer in a while with "good" hardware that I could overclock. But now I just got a GA-965P-DS3 with a E4300 and some OCZ platinum PC2-6400. Because ZipZoomFly didn't ship my order in time, I borrowed a stick of PC2-4200 from work for about a week.

Now, I don't know what you guys use for benchmark, but I used PC Wizard 2007 that came with the motherboard.

For some reason the P4 are kicking my ass from the results that came with the software and I don't see any benefits from the upgraded that I've done from a single 1GB PC2-4200 to a dual 1GB OCZ platinum memory.

Is there something I'm doing from or I won't simple see the benefit of my DDR2 800 memory I bought? Is the FSB of 800Mhz limiting in memory performance?

I just found out about the CTRL-F1 to get into advance setting to set the CAS latency, I'll try that tonight.
