New System Together

Intel D 920 @ 3.6g (air cooled)
Asus P5WD2 - E Intel 875
Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 2x1g
Sapphire 1900XT 512 meg
WD Raptor 75g
LianLi V1200
PC&P 510 watt
XP Pro SP2

Here's a pic of the Big Typhoon squeezed into the case. Prime95 takes the cpu to 49C and the MB to 37C after about 8 hours. Normal game play has the CPU at 44C. I'm thinking about tweaking the RAM and the vid card. Not sure what to go after first. Are there some good guides online that I could read to get some background on this?

I've got access to a 64 bit version of XP but haven't decided whether or not to make the jump. I play Aces High and run VS Studio, Flash and Dreamweaver MX and Photoshop 7. Not sure how these will work with that OS, but a friend of mine who plays Far Cry (?) raves about the performance boost.

Make the timings lower in BIOS for memory. Adjust them lower, of course, one number by one. CAS/RAS-CAS/RAS Precharge/Active to Precharge. Should be like 3-4-4-8 so lower them one by one.

Someone lese could give you better advice on GPU ocing.

let the system "burn in" before doing any tweaks or overclocking.
