Need BIOS Settings For MSI K8N Neo Platinum Athlon 3400+

[imported_RobW]

What are the proper BIOS settings for the MSI K8N Neo Platinum motherboard with an Athlon 3400+ processor on it? Here is what I see in the BIOS:

The top of the screen says "Current CPU Clock 2412 MHz" and "Current DDR Clock 200 MHz". The settings are:
High Performance Mode - Manual
Agressive timing - Disabled
Dynamic overclocking - Disabled
Spread Spectrum - Enabled
HT Frequency - 4
Adjust CPU ration - Startup
Adjust CPU FSB Frequency - 200
Adjust AGP Frequency - 66
CPU Voltage - CPU Default
Memory Voltage - Auto
AGP Voltage - 1.5v

I'm using an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card and getting a 3DMark05 score of 2420. That seems too low since it's the same score I get with my EPoX 8RDA+ motherboard using PC2700 memory and an Athlon XP 2600+ processor.

You know, I think the reason my score did not improve is because I'm GPU bound. I'll try it again with a really low resolution, like 640x400. But I'd still appreciate input on what the settings should be. Thanks.
