does anyone please have any input? I dont get it says my CPU is at 2.5ghz now but performance is worse...I must be underclocking something else somehow... One thing i notice that is wierd is that CPUz shows my ram at PC3200 whereas its PC3500 RAM

Ok kind of found the problem.....the origianl score I got before I can no longer attain. I reset my mb to defaults and ran 3dmark again...now im getting even less. So actually overclocking it was not degrading the performance, but now I am getting way less than when i first ran the program. Anyone have any idea why this would be? I have not changed anything as far as new hardware or new drivers for the video card or anything...maybe spyware or a winixp update that made things worse? I still have never installed that xp fix for dual cores where you have to manually edit the registry...this is really wierd.
