My system is sluggish randomly after I boot. In other words it runs great sometimes and not others. Problem lies with the overclock but I don't know where.
Gigabyte 7n400 (pos) running @352 bus
Could be- cosair 512mb 333 XMS running a little higher? Second stick is Kingston high performance. Both running Dual Channel 3338 3.0
Value Compusa 500 watt power supply?
Using 4 system fans with a 4400rpm fan and copper heatsink on cpu. Artic silver poly.
Athlon XP 2.08 running @ 22.10 over clocked through bus x12.5. Not a big jump but runs a tad hot @ 53C

Should I:
a. Take cosair 333 out and run with 512 @ 400mhz bus. Or run ram synced instead of by spd?
b. take out extra cdroms etc to use less power, though 500 watt is a big supply.
c.Toss the 7n400 cause its a pos. New CPU and board not an option right now.
Don't know where problem lies but I suspect its the borad. The onboard nic has never worked simce I got it.
Any seasoned suggestions appreciated.
 
I really dont care about the dual channel if my systme will perform better ill move ram. Is it better to take out slower ram and run just 512 to acheieve a higher bus speed?
