New computer

[SUISIDE]

I just got my new computer up and running. I'm using an AMD 939 3200+; Leadtek 6600GT; ASUS A8N-SLI; and 1Gb of Kingston dual channel ram. What settings should I adjust to get the most out of my new system? Thanks.

what kind of kingston ram? is it Value ram? Do you want to OC?

 

[SUISIDE]

Yeah, it is the $100 value ram.

not too much you can do with that, its pretty POS for OCing. I would just leave the optimized settings in the bios, if you want to leave it all at stock.

Thanks. What about the hypertransport settings? What do I need to utilize the 2000 mhz fsb?

What kind of cooling do you have? HSF? Case? Any high powered case fans?

Run the ram at 1:1 then
should be all good to go at stock.

if u dont want to mess with OCing

Kooling: I am using the stock heatsink for the cpu. Then my case is an Antec Lanboy with a fan in the front.

Ram: I'll check it.

If you can afford it, buy a XP-120 or XP-90 heatpipe cooler with a Panaflo high powered fan, make sure you use Artic Silver 5 also. You should be able to OC somewhat, however it is my understand that the Asus A8N boards don't OC for crap. I'm returning mine to Newegg and buying a DFI.
